Dont like the new ui
In reply to Skald (msg # 92):
Thanks for weighing in, Skald. It's a sensitive subject for me, but I previously said I would leave it alone, and I probably should have done so.

@Locke1221 - I know full well that quoting a single line of text can be "achieved." What I'm talking about, and what I previously asked about, was the ability to "select" a portion of text to quote. Here's a quick example of where it would be a helpful feature...
In a game thread, Player A, Player B, and Player C each make a post suggesting the next course of action for the party. Let's say they're at a crossroads.
For a number of reasons, Player D decides that it would be a good idea to discuss the matter in an OOC thread, rather than the game thread, just as players might do around the table when trying to make an important group decision.
As the RPOL site is currently designed, how many steps would it take for Player D to quote a portion of all three posts made by Players A, B, and C, then offer a response in the OOC thread, examining the pros and cons, or addressing specific points each player may have made in their respective posts?
The answer to that question is, it would take 15 or more steps. Whereas, if a feature was installed that allowed the three lines to be quoted and then dumped into an OOC post, it would only take four steps.
When I tried to explain this issue previously, and to suggest a simple fix, I received several responses that implied it was stupid and unnecessary. Your comment seemed to echo that perspective. That's why I reacted poorly to it. I apologize for that.
Frankly, it doesn't matter at this point. If I'm the only person in the entire RPOL universe who thinks it's a problem that needs fixing, then I understand why the mods would deem it as unworthy of their time or attention. So everyone can just... carry on.
Happy New Year and best wishes.
