Topic: Bounty 1 BTC for Quoted feature - page 2. (Read 1695 times)

The internals of the quote don't matter, all that matters is the code you posted. That code tells the forum software that someone is making a reference to another post. If you are the author of that post, it would show up for you as a response.

Well, this would be an interesting and useful feature.

Bus as quoting basically just adds a link to a post and is not a fixed copy of ones post (you can change it).

The only important part is that I have the link to you post which is

217265.msg2282690#msg2282690 date=1369643514

so I could basically quote you by writing the entire text per hand:


I just can't imagine that such a feature is even technical possible the way quoting in SMF works unless you run a pot, that constantly scans for such links.

But than, I'm not a coder, so what do I know?

The above three links allow a forum member to easily see what threads have had activity since the last time they viewed, which is great when they only commented in a few threads. The problem (for members like myself who have been here for over 2 years and comments in hundreds of threads) is that many of the discussions have gotten off-topic, are bumped with spam or trolling, and are basically not worth the time it takes to check and see if anyone responded to your inquiries or arguments.

I think there is a simple and agreeable solution to this.

Add another link.

This would show all threads (whether you commented in them or not) in which someone quoted your posts. Not only would this alert you immediately to responses, but it would also allow you to follow split threads and new topics where users are discussing your posts and/or using your quotes for their own arguments.

Despite the forum having millions of dollars of bitcoins under the guise of forum upgrades (which haven't happened in a year now), it seems that the only way to get the admin to do anything is to pay him money directly, so I'm willing to put up 1 BTC for this feature to be added. It will save everyone here an endless amount of time searching bumped threads and would encourage quoting of people's posts in responses.

Anyone else willing to pitch in for this bounty?
