To be honest, I wasn't sure if I had to leave my computer on all the time for it to work, and since I'm not home all day I don't think it'd be a good idea. Also, I had to do it on our old computer (which is in my room and has become my personal computer) but it's pretty slow. My brother doesn't want it on the new one.

Siamanto> Armen, maybe I did not fully explored all the capabilities of the quoting mechanism of this forum, but I believe that it falls short of some features necessary for my style of quoting and replies i.e.

1) I break down a post into several statements.

2) I my quote different members.

3) I always compose and edit my messages - regardless of the forum - using the same tools. Later, I paste them.

 

I'm not sure you can achieve 1) and 2) using the forum's features!!!!

I'm using whatever feature I can! If you can show me that I can achieve the same with what this forums offers, then I will do my best to comply...to make you happy! :)

 

 

Sasun> Armen, I think it's a habit of Siamanto from forums that do not actually have a quoting function. I remember in old times that was quite helpful

 

Siamanto> This is simply to give an example of quoting more than one member!

(Sasun, thank you for the explanation!)

 

I hope that I answered your "question!"

Hi Siamanto :)

 

Try this:

 

Press these: p_mq_add.gif

 

And then this: t_reply.gif

 

And you should be able to quote as many people as you want.

Nairi,

Many thanks you for the suggestion. I have tried it in the past and, unfortunately, it does not solve 1) i.e. "breaking down a post into several statements." It inserts the entire message as a single quote and I need to break it down manually. It becomes a bit hard to manage because the editing pad is tiny and my messages are often long ! I prefer to work with a text editor with a large window and other convenient features!

 

Maybe I should learn to be less talkative and keep my mouth shut, keeping my replies shorter! :)

 

Good night! I need to get some sleep!

Siamanto.

One other suggestion is doing this:

 

Gnacinqel, u angam ekanqel Moso akhper. Qefners el a hazar, hima patratvum enq qnelu

 

All you need to do is write {quote=Armen} but then using square brackets [] and close the whole thing off with {/quote}

 

Voila. You can do this in your word program, copy and paste the whole thing and post it here. Just a suggestion...

 

Hmm, I guess it doesn't work anymore.. You should've seen the first one in quotes... Maybe some of the geeks here can teach me a trick as well.

Nairi,

Thanks! In fact, that is more or less what I do: I insert the tags i.e. {quote} manually! With the exception that, instead of specifying the member name as an ATTRIBUTE of the quote-tag i.e. {quote=MemberName}, I specify it as a prefix to the quoted statement.

Of course, one may wonder why I chose a - in fact, only SLIGHTLY - different syntax - despite the fact that I appreciate the relevance and importance of already existing standards?

 

Before I reply to the question above, I sincerely apologize if this conversation SEEMS to become a bit too...what's the word? :)

 

Let's consider a situation with a sequence of quotes i.e.

Member1 states : "Statement 1"

Member2 replies: "Statement 2"

Member3 replies: "Statement 3"

In some cases, my reply to Statement3 may seem ambiguous if I don't include the context i.e. Statement1, Statement2 and Statement3.

 

Using the forum's convention, we would have:

Statement1

Statement2

Statement3

Reply1

 

Using my convention:

 

Member1> Statement1

Member2> Statement2

Member3> Statemen3

Reply1

or Me> Reply1

[Yes, in ANY forum and with BOTH conventions, specifying the poster's alias as part of the reply is redundant and may be considered superfluous noise!]

 

Personally, I find the second approach GRAPHICALLY more "intuitive" and "legible" as the number of quotes grow! What do you think?

I can live with both, my goal is to make it MORE CONVENIENT and LEGIBLE to the READERS. One should also take into consideration the fact that sometimes Member3 can be the same as Member1 and Member2, the poster!

 

 

Thanks.

Siamanto.

 

PS.

A compromise may be to combine both approaches!

Also one nice feature that I should be using is the link to the quote. I will integrate that in my future messages. I have already checked, it is possible to quote simultaneously from different threads!

Yeah Siamanto, noone can imitate you better than youself :)

style_images/master/snapback.png

 

In fact, I had in mind a message entitled Auto Portrait and the subject would have been FAR LESS "boring??" and HOPEFULLY more humorous than the one you have chosen!

It's a shame that you have taken away such an opportunity! :)

 

On the bright side, you made me look more closely into some of the features offered by the forum. Thanks!

Nairi, Armen:

 

Another challenge for you: :)

How would you solve the following - very realistic - problem SOLELY with the forum's features?

 

[siamanto addressing MJ]

 

In fact, it provides NO evidence of your statement that such a scenario was

 

...

discussed at various levels, including the leadership of Armenia and Karabagh, and among them, some of the highest profile "heroes" of our days. It was something generally acceptable to a significant portion of Armenians

...

style_images/master/snapback.png

 

 

The above statement by MJ was posted by Azat - click on the link i.e. the arrow at the bottom right of the quote.

Is it possible to achieve the above, using SOLELY the forum's features? If I'm not wrong,

1- The author would have been Azat, not MJ

2- The statement by MJ would not have been inserted AT ALL!

 

Thanks.

Siamanto.
