This is a huge problem here; The massive wall of quotes. It's torture to scroll down through all of them on and on and on. I suggest a shorterlimit to how many can be quoted at once, maybe 3?

For example;

And those are the bare minimums of posting; Often, the walls are made up of paragraphs.

There's already a limit.

Of 10. See the hypothetical example above; Even quoting 10 of the bare minimum takes almost the whole screen.

Seems useless, just scroll a little, you know you don't have to read everything in the quotes, right?

True, but it's still really annoying.

-_-

All your asking is to reduce quote towers
Scroll down. How long does that take for you?
And as cooby said, if you ever want to go to the bottom hit the END key
You can also press space to skip thru the posts

How hard is that for a member to understand?

Well, shortening the quote limit isn't a BAD thing. If it doesn't hurt the forums and it helps someone, then what is the downside of doing it?

It's a ridiculous idea and just extremely lazy, especially considering that this HELPS people who have to reply to a bunch of posts all at once.

Just press that page down button on your keyboard, and move along.

Or press the middle mouse button and scroll down in a flash.

Or just scroll the mousewheel.

Seriously, stop being lazy.
