Cascading quotes

I thing cascading quotes should be better and easier established.  Adding tags manually should be minimized.

Here is an example:

Quote
Quote
QuoteFirst message
Bla, bla, blah
Bla, bla, blah
Answer1
Bla, bla, blah
Bla, bla, blah
Answer2
Bla, bla, blah
Bla, bla, blah

I forwarded him to make his suggestion here because I didn't know how I might help him. I think the suggestion he has is that the user shouldn't have to use the [quote ] etc. tags when making several quotes. He said that it gets confusing and hard for users to make them.

I personally don't know how to make the quotes system more easy but thought maybe someone here has ideas for him and the developers :)

I still don't know what you mean by adding [quote tags... if someone simply clicks the quote button - the tags are already there....

Well if you take many quotes from a long post and try to answer between the different parts of the posts it can get little confusing to know where you have to add a quote tag to end it and where to start a new one... Also the forum adds automatically the ending tags so I have noticed that it can break the quotes you have already made. Sometimes it adds a [ /quote] to the end of the post where it doesn't need one.

I'm also confused about how he wants it so I'll just ask him to clear his idea a bit more. Lol...

OK, I'll try to express myself a bit more clear.

I hate the idea ot manually adding any tags.  The end-user should be allowed to just do it nice and easy.

If you wish to just quote the whole lot, it's quite easy.

But if you want to delete some parts of a long quotation and add comments between quotes it gets messy.

An easy and quick solution woud be having a 'break quote button' '['/quote']['quote']'

Better way woud be to have the system automatically keep track witch text is quoted (and from whom)

Let us knock the idea, it's something this person takes issues with.

I'm not sure however, what we can do about it for now.
