My forum members have a heck of a time with reply/quoting. They clobber the [quote][/quote] tags all the time leaving posts with [/quot or something like that in the message body. I am not sure why this happens, but I do know they really don't understand the markup/tags and how they work.
What would be nicer and cleaner would be if the message being quoted would not be added to the message box like it is but rather seperated from it. If a bar was added just above the Message box and the FONT toolbar that said, 'click to edit original quoted messge' and it unfolded a quick edit box (sometimes the member only wants to quote a 'sentence') that would allow the member to remove any text they want - it would be a much nicer soution.. and the [quote][/quote] tags never appeared in the message box but were 'added' when the message was posted.. that would help a lot.. any thoughts on this?
