Small QOL feature II

[Ol' Willy]

Reply button that quotes all text not enclosed by [quote_] brackets.

E.G.: there's a post containing two thousand words in brackets and two words of actual user comment. Such button will only quote these two words

This is actually the default behavior of the forum software, but we changed it.

I can't help but notice that post windows has two reply buttons both of which do the same. Possible to change one to "clean reply" while keeping second as it is?

There are several reasons for such function:

1) some chaps are just too lazy and like to quote entire sheet of text to reply. I love scrolling but even my love has its limits
2) replying with selection is painful when using phone and while I admit the inferiority of using phones for forums, circumstances force some of us to do that
2b) when quote includes several quotes already my phone's browser freaks out and shows a long stretches of empty spaces between replies
3) it's simply handy, I hate to quote the entire super-construction of post just to reply

So I'm checking out Codex with my shitty phone and what do I see? Instead of huge ass bloated quote-boxes which take forever to scroll, all quote-boxes are compactly compressed and you can scroll the text inside if you wish.

10/10 improvement, danke schön

I may not OOP but I can still CSS.

The only time I actually liked the change and wanted to say thanks I get the bird from the big fella himself

lol

I also hate it when quotes just start adding up whenever you reply.
