Use of quotes

[#1]

Quote from: artmo

When you quote a previous post the original poster is removed.  Why is this?  It is helpful to know who you are quoting.

its because its only a partial quote and not a full one, if you want the headers, do a full quote and then edit out the superfluous bits

On the subject of spotting it, anyone spotted coastergrotto post that has had a quote removed, as I can not find it!

Pierre, I've edited chillypenguin's post as you did and the poster's name is still there

I copied a line and then put inside quotes, thats the button over the head (2nd from right)

I've posted a couple of suggestions (and poll on them) to make users more aware of the existence of the forum rules as I think ignorance of the rules is frequently a reason why (particularly new users) transgress the rules: http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,70064.0.html

Mod:note
Moved to a more suitable forum.

The rule should stay as it. On a couple of other forums I visit occasionally it is extremely annoying to see full quotes of posts especially when the post space in general doesn't cover the full screen width due to adverts, links etc. You can end up scrolling through several pages just to see a couple of replies.

Keep the rule as it is, it is on my forum as well.
