Just wanted to make a suggestion following another thread where the pictures from the original post kept getting quoeted again and again and again :D
Im a member of quite a few other forums some of which use the same system as TMF some use a different system :P

When you hit reply on the bottom of a post it quotes everything,pictures,text the lot.
I was just wondering if the setting could be altered so when you hit reply you dont get the piccys repeated as well?

I myself if i want to quote just a bit of the posters text i highlight all the text i dont want and delete it just leaving the little bit i want between the quote marks ;)

I realise sometimes people want to duplicate maybe just one piccy so they can say for instance in a reply ie/ what colour is this car? or what wheels are they etc but you dont need say 10 pics from the original post to show just one :D

if you right click on the piccy you want to post about then select properties and highlight the piccy details then copy you can simply hit the piccy button at the top of the post page and then paste the file location in there ;) Simples :D

Just an idea i think if it doesnt automatically copy all the images we wont get the same images repeated again and again ;)

Or failing that dont use the reply thats at the bottom of the post use the other one that says "ADD REPLY" at the very top and bottom of all post pages next to the "New Topic" button ;)

Thanks for the suggestion Joloke. I had actually been trying to come up with some ideas as to how to solve this problem. Another forum I use have a system where by if there are any pictures put in a quote they are automatically resized to thumbnails. Works quite well actually.

We've got a new version of the forum software coming soon, so if there isn't something built into that as standard I'll look at implemneting a mod for it.
