I worked out how to remove the "quote" button from beneath all the posts on my board, but I couldn't find out how to remove "quick quote" and leave "quick reply" intact. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

post_side.tpl and post_top.tpl are the templates that place the buttons on screen. So you would have to look into editing those.

please note that post_side.tpl was added in 7.2.2, so if you're running something older, don't get worried that you can't find it.

It might have been useful to mention I'm on 7.2.2, LOL.

It's not so much that I'm a clean UI freak (though I am), but because if the buttons aren't there it's SO much harder for people to quote after quote after quote, where you end up with 7 nested quotes -- or more! When you're on limited bandwidth smaller pages are good. smile

I would just love an option where you can limit the amount of nested quotes. Quote in quote, ok, quote in quote quote, no way hosee!

I would too!

I requested it once before... should show under my post history.

Maybe one day I'll have a stab at some JavaScript to do it.

No need for javascript, it would be simply a regex in the code that handles the markup, that would give an error when quote level is X deep.

It'd be even better if there was a cp setting so that you could choose the quote level allowed, and then it simply deleted the inner-most quotes to match the allowed level. Default setting on that should be 1... wink

I would not opt for just deleting it, I would opt for giving an error message.
