Why Quote Huge Chunks Of A Thread???

[Albannach]

It doesn't really bother me as much as putting pictures up that are too big to fit across the page without having to scroll across to see them.
for example http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/forums/sh...threadid=40091

Ah! That's a screen size/resolution issue. I can se all them pics fine on my PC and both laptops at home, but not on the PC at work.

Quoting huge chunks of text is fine, big gaps are fine, quoting a post with 20 odd pictures in without just deleting the pictures from the quote is $$$$$$ annoying. You start to read the post then a picture loads and the screen moves, you find it carry on reading a bit and the next pic loads - that gets right up my goat.

Mine are 1440x900. Depends what their native resolution is, will be in the monitor spec.

I don't think I agree with that at all?

This was a joke but no one got it

[MudSurfer]

Is this thread for real????? Deary me......mind you - I've been guilty of it - and it does sometimes wind me up - so I must be a hypocrite.....oh well.....

[RodLeach]

I pretty much agree with Apache an Nero ...

Its a pain in the backside looking at the same pictures a thousand times over!

But sometimes quotes are needed to point out that your replying to a specific post etc etc

People, did some of you bother to read my original gripe? I'm not knocking quotes as such but when the post is around twenty lines long and your reply is below that post why quote it? For goodness sake the original is just above the reply sometimes, why do you need to quote it?

If the topic runs onto another page and a portion of the original post is relevant then by all means quote it.

Anyhoo, I'm climbing down from my soapbox, I've opened one of those proverbial cans of worms and I'm putting the lid back on (for me anyway). Once again it's all down to personal preference, it annoys some but not others. Vive la difference! It's the season of goodwill to all men so to all of you who don't agree with me............................ .............
















Bollox to the lot of ya!
