there's a way to make links to another place in a document (i don't remember how) maybe if you did that to each post and after the quote box put a link to the parent post

yea,it probably won't work but whatever

It really was an impressive display of hair splitting.

I suggest that the quote box quote entire posts, but display that in the reply box, so you can just delete everything but the parts you're trying to quote.

Other idea: individual frames for each post. In that there's only so much room for a post, but you can scroll down through it if it's longer, so the posts don't take up excessive page space. Here's an example of a board that does this (scroll down tot he post by Carnival):

http://mental-block.invisionzone.com/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=2c60ead3a77051643e63b4f85bb841b4&search_in=posts&result_type=posts&highlite=wabty

I realize that this would be a lot of programming though, so I'm obviously not expecting Paul to do any of it, I'm just thinking aloud here.

When the truth is, I miss you.

Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so.

And I�'m tired...

I should not have let you go.
 
I don't liek the scroll down idea it would make reading long psots much harder

Good idea, but I think the higher-ups on the Newschoolers staff want to keep the site as original as possible, which I think is good.

the message center is cool too

the quote system is great. The only improvement would be to be able which part of the post you want to quote, but there would still have to have a 2-3 line limit. Otherwise it could become chaos.

But really, the purpose of the quote was to do the exact same things as the "^^^^" arrows without having to count posts. It's just to refer to which post you're talking about, and they can go up and reread it if they want.

As it is now quotes dont fucking help, Id rather see a ^ than a huge ugly box. 99% of the time I still have to scroll up to see what the quoted person says because the system is sooo screwed up. Paul get your shit together bro.
