I think everyone should be aware of how to use the edit and quick quote buttons, so here it is:

Edit: If you've posted something recently (say, within the last hour) and feel you could add to ideas formed in your post, go to that post and hit the "Edit" button. If you don't want everyone to know that you're a hasty retard (heh), then just click off of the "mark as edited" box.

Quick Quote: Press the "Quick Quote" button attached to the message you want to quote. Type underneath the text that appears.

I have to sidescroll your post to see all the text you quoted... And I think a quote in a quote would be even worse.. So I think I will stick to my way of quoting. \:\)

I don't have to scroll for anything, but I've got my resolution set pretty high (1024x768). It'd be nice to be able to customize quotes, but as far as I can tell they're static.

This is a test to see how just far indented a quote in a quote will be, if any more than just a quote... My aplogoies. The preview are is bigger horizontally than the actual post will be, so preview isn't... very live \:\)

Okej... Even if I use fullscreen, at 1280x800, there is a sidescroll bar in my test of a quote inside a quote...

Is that just for me...? (sidescrolling is bad in a forum... right...?)
