The "feature" doesn't work perfectly, however, and if the message you're trying to quote has quotes interspersed with regular text, you'll probably end up with nothing.I implemented it because... nested quotes are usually annoying and don't serve any practical purpose. Rarely do you need to reference anything other than the immediately-preceding comment; often, I'd see someone quoting a massive amount of text in order to add a "LOL" to the end. Sort of a waste.As always, you can cheat your way around this limitation -- just select and copy whatever text you want to your clipboard, then paste it into your message. The tags will place the text into a quote box.Foul
