Quote links

Hello. My suggestion is that in a quote, beside the person's name, there's a link to the place where that place was posted, so people cold have more fun and see in what condition it was posted in.

 

 

 

in the grayish ^^^^^ area above this, there would be a URL linked to the thread/post the person posted it in.

 

 

 

I was in different forums before I joined this one, and I was shocked that it did'nt ahve the URL, as all the other ones did, and I was really used to it. "Less fun..." I thought to myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't have any other words to say.

I'll support this. It would make a nifty addition to be able to track down previous posts through that method. :)

I think that would require a different sort of quote.

 

 

 

The quotes here work by you taking some text with quote tags and optionally assigning a name to it.

 

 

 

It's a good idea, but it might conflict with the current method, since I think that would need to stay, too.

 

 

 

I've only ever used IF and phpbb forums, how did this quote thing work on the forum you used?

I know you didn't aim this at me, but I have a thought for you to read. 8-)

Only slightly. But I get how it would work on here. :

We could add a post number through a quote tag with an expanded format, right? :-s

 

 

 

And heck, we could call the tag "linkquote", and have it like...

 

[linkquote=","][/linkquote]

...which would allow basically the same (with "") as a quote, but with the expanded ability to just specify a post number (with "") where the quote was coming from. :idea:

 

 

 

It's a good idea, but it might conflict with the current method, since I think that would need to stay, too.

So we'd allow both formats, no big deal. :thumbsup: ... (I just hope that I've provided enough info to enable the idea to be made!)

That sounds pretty plausible, I could see that working. :)

on teh bottom right of all posts is a tiny yellowish page; it has the link to the post that it's in. Is there any way to connect tah with the quotes?

 

 

 

 

 

[quote name="onuasdad"=(INSERT POST URL HERE)]  (quote)  [/quote]

 

 

 

^^ that was the way i looked like in the other forums.

 

 

 

Wih the techie admins this would defiantly be possible.

onuasdad, that's what D_V_D was talking about.

 

 

 

Every post has a unique number in it's url, that's how this quote thing could be plausible.

Lol, I was just messing around, and if you take a quote and wrap the url tags with the post link around it, you can click to go back to the original post.

That would require a lot of custom BBcode, and I mean custom custom bbcode. Not the kind that you can make from the ACP, as it only supports one value inside each bbcode tag.

I'll consider ourselves "stuffed" then. -.- ... Damn. :boohoo:

 

(Pardon my language... I'm just frustrated. :wall: ...)

Well, if the admins don't have time to do it, do it yourself and send the code to the admins. Although I doubt I'm going to be doing anything like this soon as I am very immersed in 3d modeling/animation right now. :P

If only I knew how to code a modification properly... :boohoo: ... I hope someone else comes through with something. :pray:
