In response to blip #126610

in response to the quote comment conundrum:

to put it simply, the program that puts quotes on replies expects reply quotes to not be nested, so when they are the text gets screwed

visual explanation

comment you want to reply to, by user C:

B said:

A said:
text_a

text_b

text_c
[quote]B said:[quote]A said: text_a[/quote]text_b[/quote]text_c

1. you press relply and the program notices it begins with a quote
2. it removes text up to the first [/quote] to keep comments clean:
text_b[/quote]text_c {your reply}
3. it quotes the text:

C said:
text_b

text_c[/quote] {your reply}
[quote]C said: text_b[/quote]text_c[/quote]
4. now it's fucked. C didn't say text_b.

how it should look:

C said:
text_c

{your reply}

in other words, always preview your comments
