(i don't know if that's the right term for it or not)

but why can't we put quote boxes inside of quote boxes? It would be a nice feature.

Hey dawg. I heard you like to quote. So I put a quote box inside your quote box.

Smath is right, I'm used to this on other forums and I think it's easier to layer discussion with. I've always been annoyed that TWW didn't have it.

ALSO, IMMA THROW THIS IN THIS THREAD.

You know how with BBCode you can designate a name to a quote? Usually it's [quote="Name"][/quote]

Is there a way we can do that currently with TWW, and if there isn't can it be added? It's seriously necessary for designating who said the quote. The current way people usually do it is they include in the highlighted text, before copying, the person's username and drag through their status and posts and stuff. Yeah, that works, but it looks awful. Being able to see the person's name at the top of a quote box would be GRAND.

Isn't anyone scared of infinite quotebox regression?

I, too, am used to this on other forums.

However...

I loathe when someone quotes text, then comments, only to get quoted by the next comment, and the next one.... it drives me insane to have all these nested quotes. If both are critical to understanding your post, at least tww makes you go through some effort of having to quote both... it cuts down on the clutter when you can't nest quote boxes

^That's a reasonable way to look at it.

I still want to be able to name a quote.

Nested quotes are a TERRRRIBLE idea. Sites that have them are a fucking nightmare to read. Besides. Half the people on here can't figure out how to use the current tags. How the fuck do you think they'll figure out how to edit out all the crap in nested quotes? It makes threads unreadable.

Pretty much. I'll bite though. TWW has always been clean. If we add nested quote boxes we might as well add signatures and avatars to increase the clutter to the fullest.

if by clean, you mean not even close to up-to-date

Cleanness doesn't have any relation to up-to-date...ness.
Nice reach though.

Are you saying you want nested quote boxes?

I like CrazyWeb for the same reason I like Notepad.
