Forums - Website Topics - Beware of multi-quote

KLAMarine on 11 January 2016

Just wanted to give a heads up to people using multi-quote: when you multi-quote someone, they're not being alerted to the quoting via the VGChartz Buddy on the left of the site.


So if you're planning to have a discussion with someone, don't use multi-quote, just use regular quote.

To the people who run this site, please fix it so that a notification actually shows up on the buddy when making use of multi-quote.

It actually shows sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, it's still a very new feature on the site so it'll get working better later, give it some time.

Did this just show on your buddy?

Let me know if this post shows up on your buddy.

Don't know about that. I don't think I've ever used those.

It does.

Though what I noticed is sometimes when you multi quote - it merges posts from two or more people so it may seem like one person said something that another person said.

I think it's because you can only quote one person at a time or rather, only one person can be notified per post. I don't think BraLoD has been notified.

And quoting a multi quote makes a mess. It should just quote the part that quotes you

You can edit the quote yourself during posting.

From what I know, it shown that I was replied to whenever someone used a multiquote that I know of. The bigger issue with 'em in my opinion is that they are annoying to reply to because you have edit it to clean it up or leave 'em as is. It also makes posts and replies longer unless they're edited.

On mobile that's tedious.

I don't mind. Just a matter of deleting stuff you don't want.
