Quote Nesting issue

[t0ddie]

out of curiosity has this been brought up ever?
after a certain amount of quotes inside of quotes are displayed, it begins to cut out the first quotes.

here is an example.

could this possibly be updated so that when the nested quotes reach a certain limit, they by default will automatically stop nesting?

thanks for your replies!

Nested quotes are not a standard feature in vB.

[t0ddie]

im still not sure if you understand how this nesting is occuring.
on the forums that i linked to for example...

when you send a private message, and the person replies, your original message is quoted. if you reply to the reply.... it nests the quotes.

you keep replying, to the reply... it keeps nesting them inside the previous quote.

as i said, this happened during private message. it does not happen during a reply to a post, unless you hit the quote button obviously...
the link i provided was a "copy and paste" post of that private message.

so your saying the forums i linked for the example has a modification that does this? and that this should'nt normally occur with vbulletin?

perhaps then the modification (whichever it is) needs an update.
if this is the case i'll look into that further.

if this is not a normal behavior by default setting... how does vbulletin normally handle this? can you show an example of a private message that has been replied back to by both parties numerous times?

thanks.

PMs do have nested quotes. Posts don't.

[t0ddie]

right, thats what im saying. this was taken from a pm.
and in that pm... the nesting "crashed" the pm.

is there a way to turn it off?
or better would be making a modification where after the quotes reach their limit, nesting automatically stops.

No, there in no switch in vB to turn that off. Once you are a customer you may be able to find more help with this.
