Quoting previous posts.
I'm curious....
When replying to a post, why do people feel the need to quote the whole post?
Really fills up the forum, especially when it's an image-heavy post or a long technical one, and means lots of scrolling through the same text or images just for someone to add the mind-blowing intellectually heavy weight missive of "I agree".
Confused

I agree. The quoting of image heavy posts is utterly moronic. Other forums I use - if someone does that a moderator deletes the images in the quoted section and gives the person a Censored

Bobble thats a good point. I often quote the whole text when really its just a sentence within it thats relevant. And I do it simply because I don't know how to isolate a little bit of text. Embarassed I suspect there are others in the same boat. Hopefully some kind soul will enlighten us soon !
