To clear a few things up:
1. I quote like I do because I tend to type what I want to say, then press quote, then press submit (with my cursor at the bottom of the post). That's it. I don't need to see what I'm replying to while I'm typing it twice. Pretty simple, really.
2. I really don't care how people post their quotes.
3. What you're seeing is likely just a bug in the text processor and/or stylesheet (the thing that parses the profanity, bbcode, and other things you guys try and put into the forums). It isn't the only one - other notable issues include the invisible characters not counting as whitespace (a bug that is also not fixed).
4. The reason it wasn't fixed in the past is because it is considered an incredibly minor bug, and to fix it we'd have to touch an already fragile area of our code. In the risk/reward valuation, we have better things to do. More so than ever, now, given that all our time is devoted to the The Next Big Thing, and not on fixing little bugs in forum code that is likely not long for this world.
So, until such time as The Next Big Thing is upon us, you're going to just have to deal with it. Sorry about that.I had absolutely no clue it was a bug and wasn't a feature.
It's settled.
Also, "The Next Big Thing"? Have you possibly hinted at a brand new forum layout being released as an update, along with, possibly, the announcement of the new IP?
