Double the limit.

It might be useful against people who cannot into quoting, so complete removal is unnecessary, but at the moment the displayed portion is too short and has to be expanded every fucking time.

 

[Ulminati]

Nay to clicking to expand. That goes for quotes and quoted images both.

The itty-bitty quote space is like that thing Genie was talking about:

 

[Berekän]

Remove it

(inb4 options are changed in the poll)

 

[Average Manatee]

I'm for it, but it could use something like a 2x-3x minimum lines before hiding.

 

[Infinitron]

Increase size limit as a safeguard against excessive quote pyramids

 

[~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-AIN'T]

Eez terrible

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Remove it

 

[Murk]

I'm in favor of increasing the size to at least 3x; wouldn't mind it being disabled outright but it would be a safeguard against idiots requoting long posts repeatedly.

 

[tuluse]

I think the size before it shrinks should be larger, but the size it shrinks down too should remain the same. Or both should increase, but there should be a buffer zone where it allows larger quotes than it will show when it actually quotes them.

 

[Absalom]

Honestly I always make an effort to clean up the quotes if I am quoting something so I don't know why this feature is necessary

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Size now currently at x3.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Personally, I'd prefer it if that thing showed the bottom of the quoted post instead and you could expand it up instead of down, if that makes sense. That way you could read the tidbit that the person who quotes it actually replies to, and not the beginning of the quote pyramid which usually doesn't have anything to do with the reply.

 

[Severian Silk]

Expanding/retracting is what spoiler tags are for.

Leave quotes the way they were before.



edit - Also, the Codex is not a democracy.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

^ That.
Just throw the overquoters into the dungeons whenever they cannot into thinking.

 

[Fens]

it does save scrolling time, but is also mighty annoying, so please remove it or at least try to implement what bee proposed

 

[Kane]

i hate clicking

 

[Linden]

Ban people who cannot into quoting etiquette. Problem solved.

That's not a quote.

Very likely.

You got your wish granted, does that make you feel good?

Yeah, quote pyramids are retarded.

Eez terrible

Don't you have anything to say yourself?

I think the idiots require a more... permanent solution.

I think the size before it shrinks should be larger, but the size it shrinks down too should remain the same. Or both should increase, but there should be a buffer zone where it allows larger quotes than it will show when it actually quotes them.

I am not quite sure what you mean.

Honestly I always make an effort to clean up the quotes if I am quoting something so I don't know why this feature is necessary

Because some people are both lazy and stupid.

Personally, I'd prefer it if that thing showed the bottom of the quoted post instead and you could expand it up instead of down, if that makes sense. That way you could read the tidbit that the person who quotes it actually replies to, and not the beginning of the quote pyramid which usually doesn't have anything to do with the reply.

Why was the original feature of automatically removing third lever and deeper nested quotes taken out in the first place?

edit - Also, the Codex is not a democracy.

Why are you voicing your opinion if you don't believe in the Codexian Democracy?

^ That.
Just throw the overquoters into the dungeons whenever they cannot into thinking.

That sounds like a lot of work.

Are you sure that is what you want?

i hate clicking

But do you love scrolling?

Ban people who cannot into quoting etiquette. Problem solved.

Are you telling DU to ban VD? That doesn't sound safe...

No straight man could ever use that emoticon.

Ten times this.

 

[Scruffy]

love it

 

[A user named cat]

I wish you'd just put everything back to how it was. Codex was perfectly fine, it didn't need a Trent Oster update. New toolbar is shit and clicking more is shit.

If you want to do some enhancing, then why don't you do something with the "Feature not available" sections or just remove those buttons from the site entirely. It's like visiting a dead Geocities page and getting 404 errors on every link you click.

yes, thanks for asking

 

[DragoFireheart]

Late to the party, but either remove it or increase the size (which you already did).
