About quote and reply

I have moved this to the GD bbPress Tools plugin forum since it has nothing to do with the Quantum theme.

1. Reply and Quote is not the same, and the quote simply takes the content of the reply/topic and moves it to a new reply form, and displays it as quoted to reference the reply/topic. It does nothing else.

2. No, the GD bbPress Tools can’t limit the length of quoted content, but when quoting, you can select what to quote, and only that will be added, or you can edit quoted content before submitting.

GD bbPress Toolbox Pro Quote feature is a bit more advanced, but it doesn’t make changes for what you need here. Quote is a simple tool that is no replacement for the reply, just a small extension for it.

Alright MillaN…

Thanks for all your replies. Perhaps the lack or properly working nested/threaded replies in bbpress is a more turn-off for me. You can imaging a forum or thread without knowing who is replying to what exactly; Reply #3 might be asking for effective rodenticide, and reply number #7 could be asking about a working CoronaVirus vaccine. Then another user with reply #8, but replying to #3 says ‘you can use Coumatetralyl’. This might or might not have direct effects on these users, but another forum user could make a wrong decision based on these replies. So in my opinion, quotation is the best solution to bbpress threading reply issues. And adding the above two options to your tool it will help.

So funny the way you reason sometime.

Ever since forums software was first made, threaded replies were never part of the way forums work

Phones were not meant to be smart, but here were!
I have a a forum on one of such dedicated forum softwares, Discourse to be precised. Those guys are one of the most innovative forum builders, yet they have working threaded replies implemented somehow.

In your example, you should not have single topic, but multiple topics about different aspects of coronavirus, and there will be no need for threads, and topics would be easier to find and follow.

Not always true either. Have as many topics as you want, some readers will surely miss out on the rules, and what will you do, ban’em? Of course not!
For example, This is the second time you created a separate topic for what I wrote as reply, and this happen withing just an hour. How long will you continue doing such for a larger forum site?

I wish you well sir, and thanks for the fast update you just release. This should be my last comment though!
