Why can't I quote the quotes?

[cl00bie]

Whenever I quote text, and there's nested quotes, only the poster being responded to is quoted, the rest isn't. The multi quote button is blue and has the + sign.

How do you quote quoted text easily? I must be missing something.

When you quote a message that has quoted text embedded, the quoted material is not carried forward. I believe that this is an option in VB, although I am not an expert in the inner workings of the package. If you really feel the need to get all of the text you can go to the message that was embedded and click on the quote +, then the containing message and click the quote + once again. When you click on [I]Post Reply[I] both messages will be posted in the message.

You mean like this?

Next to the quote button there's another button with "+ on it. That's the multi-quote button. Hit that for every single post you want to quote minus the last one and then hit quote on the final post to quote. All of them will get included.

That's about the closest you'll get to quoting a nested quote. I figure you can't directly quote a nested quote because it could cause recursion issues and bring the database to its knees.
