In response to blip #126604

It's the first time in 21 years that I play using a video game controller. And it turns out I suck at using the analog stick.

That's how e6 handles using the reply function on a comment with nested quotes, it does so very poorly (i suspect to discourage quote chains/rp)

Oh yeah, had it happen on one of my posts too.

I suspect when it finds a [quote] it just looks for the next [/quote] and removes everything in between. Ignoring other instances of [/quote]. But I'm not sure why the other quote I made in the same comment after that also broke.

@Daleport996: No wait, I think I figured out why.

This is how the quotes are structured in my original comment:

[quote]
[quote][/quote]
[/quote]

[quote][/quote]

Then, I guess the script that handles replies removes all instances of [quote], but only removes the first [/quote] it runs into, leaving this.

[/quote]

[/quote]

And when the entire comment is quoted, it gets closed when it got to the first [/quote].

[quote][/quote]

[/quote][/quote]

I guess the script doesn't actually write in DText to format stuff in the background, so that's why only one [/quote] shows up at the end.
