The color idea sounds like a non-invasive solution - don't know if it is possible/practical though.

That'd be cool, even if a little impractical. Sometimes, I visit a thread and I won't come back to it for days (if ever). Then, I realize that somebody had quoted me or asked me a question. It makes me look like a douche since I didn't reply or at least acknowledge them.

I was gonna say something like this. Alerts for being quoted would be great.

I think i mightve quoted you and since i had no response from you so i thought you might've been a douche.  Will you reply to this or be a douche again to me? lol jk =)

OT, i fully agree we should have some kind of alert.



do the alert thing or the color change thing but please do something

I agree with this. 100% a good idea. I've often missed comments directed at me and one person even left an angry message on my wall once fr not replying.

If it's implemented well it would be awesome. I would say that there should be a bolded option on the 'My Recent' threads section that takes you straight to the page with the quote/reply. That would be awesome.



Something weird happened. I tried to quote myself in one thread - http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=93380&page=2# - and nothing happened in the left bar, it didn't even appear as new post. Then I posted again in the same thread and it appeared red, even though the new post didn't have any quote

Though, it may be due to the fact that I had quoted myself




yes this is a WANTED feature

but what if someone spam quotes us?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Exactly.  You might not see that I quoted you here and never respond.  That'd be a total douche bag move on your part.

Hey!

Wall alerts/massages would be too tedious. How about marking a thread you've been quoted in in a different colour?

this!
