Subject: Thread to PM Quote Feature

When you choose "message user" from the thread, why can't you quote what the person posted in the PM?

It's the one thing that bothers me. I'd like to be able to just hit quote and then type my response in the PM. If it's not possible to have said feature, then that's fine, I'll accept it. If it is and will absolutely not be implemented, then that's no excuse and I'll be bitter for the rest of my life and curse Achronos and the web team for all enternity.

Ok.. I didn't see that one coming nor did I think of doing that..

But is it possible to have that quote feature?

  • 05.06.2007 7:56 PM PDT

Okay. Thanks. Excuse me while I go be bitter.

This idea is win.

I like this idea.

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing a "sent" box for your Pm's, because not everyone quotes them back to you. Not a big deal though, just throwing this (already suggested) idea out there.

Since both "reply" and "message" are javascripted and linked to the specific post, I would imagine that it is feasible.

But I wonder why they were not implemented in the beginning?

Slightly off-topic, but when you reply to a PM and paste from there, you can see all the colourful language that was -blam!-'d out. Doesn't happen in threads, so I figure it's not meant to be like that..?

I would like a "Return to the forum" button after you send a PM... It's a pain clicking all the way back and trying to find the thread and then going to the post of the person that you just PM'ed...
And I would also like a new race car, and a kangaroo.

I simply click on reply, click quote, type out my response, select all text, copy it, cancel the reply and paste it into a PM.

It's only two extra clicks, (reply and cancel).
You can't click reply when a thread is locked.

The mods can right?

Under the assumption that these forums function in the same way the group forum does.. No, they can't. So I'd still like to see this quote feature implemented. It's the one thing I really want to happen. All the other changes I like, except for this lack of change.



Edit: I don't even know why I bother posting when Recon's around. He always shuts down me down. *dies a little inside*

Those would be special orders.

I think that they are back-logged with requests/demands for ponies.


Hopefully a shotgun that works is slightly higher priority.

Hehe, rest assured, I asked the guy who's responsible for the Shotgun in Halo 2.. He said "I'd fire myself if it didn't work in Halo 3." ;)

On topic: Recon is gifted.

Wait...so this thread is about Recon?

Where has this thread been all my life?

Your mom was keeping it.. Looks like she got bored.

I'd have to say this thread has served it's purpose. Now I'm wishing I had something more to add. :P

Yes well...if you knew my mom that wouldn't be a surprise to you.
No one thing can keep her satisfied for very long.

Good...that'll certainly help. I was starting to get performance anxiety from the constant stress.

There's still no Post to PM quote feature, even after the update. :-(
