Lack of interest [Suggestion] Reply: quoted text not understandable for non-techies

[erich37]

when hitting the "Reply"-button in order to reply to a post, then you see the "code" for the quoted post.

For a non-techie, this "code" is rather confusing. Is there a way you could change that ?

Err, I think you need to substitute the & for a , there...

Wow I just LOL'd out loud... I always keep my websites stupid

Can it be done? Possibly eventually. But you wouldn't see something that was exactly what you're going to get. The quote has to be parsed back from HTML to BB code to keep the semantics of it (and all the styling, which can be changed).

Not sure if the current text-editor can be replaced by custom HTML, JavaScript or any other editor.

I am no expert in those text-editors, but I would suggest this has room for improvement.

Certainly not for Alpha or Beta-version, but maybe later on when you have more time available ?
