suggestion for improved quoting

[VetLegion]

interpret normal quotation marks as [quotte] and [/quotte] (without the t)

so I type this:

"blah blah important thing to quote blah blah"

and it comes out this:

blah blah important thing to quote blah blah

or if the script needs to know explicitly where to start and where to end make it ": and :" or " and /" or something.

is this possible? it really would speed up the typing, because to quote you now have to type all over keyboard, miss a key, correct it.. it adds up.

Just use [ q ] and [ /q ]

[VetLegion]

I didnt know that

anyway my system cuts the time of that in half, eliminating brackets that are alt+f and alt+g for me.

Some people just want to use quotation marks. When quoting something you may not want the blue quotation - especially if its just a couple of words and not linking to others' specific posts.

I don't agree- when i use quote marks, I am not necessarily quoting something someone else said... I like the way it is now.

[Dauphin]

Signatures being a perfect example of why you don't want this idea implemented.

Sorry Vet.

Reposts of text files in Creation forums being another one...

The current system is fine. The double quote has its uses.

[Mr. President]

That would totally screw up AC-Fiction, where we often post things with dialogue in them. I say leave it as it is.

[tniem]

This would be an awful change for ACS's forums. I do not want to see this change made. How hard is [ q ] ?

[DarkCloud]

Although, vet's idea could work if it only worked for DOUBLE quotes:

example

""how""

would be quoted

but not
"how"

just a suggestion- i don't like it either, but if Vet want's it to work, he may like the idea and use it, crediting it to me of course

I think the current [q]quote[/q] system is fine.
Anything else means you are just too lazy.

[Dauphin]

Now't wrong wit bein' lazy.

[DarkCloud]

hmm... It seems as if

and

don't work any more :hmm:

(I am referring to Skanky Burn's post, by the way )

Now't wrong wit bein' lazy.

True, but being too lazy...

DC: I think they still do
