What's with "You've been quoted"??

[Threeband]

Just received a system email about having been quoted in a thread...

Never happened before, so I'm guessing it's a newly activated feature... but...

I can't find where to TURN IT OFF!!!!

Quoted again!

 

[Threeband]

Quoted again!

Can I quote myself?

 

[Threeband]

Can I quote myself?

Yes, I can. But I can't tag myself.
I can tag Teratos though.

Not sure why.

 

[somd_mustangs]

Tried tagging myself too, didn't work so from that I guess there's no self-aggrandisement.
Not sure what the tag is anyway or what it does? a search thing maybe?

 

[DaemonAssassin]

Yes, I can. But I can't tag myself.
I can tag Teratos though.

Not sure why.

It's easier to tag somebody else, than yourself?

Cut to the chase: if polite requests to abandon this new “enhancement” are rebuffed, is the OP willing to lead a post boycott?

I guess this only counts going forward, with no credit for our past posts and threads.

 

[Biggfoot44]

I dunno . Quick, somebody quote one Ted's posts from 2014 , and report back to this thread .

 

[ted76]

I have a few more recent that that.

Arghh!

I think that would be the moral thing to do. I would support a post boycott by the OP 100%.

Too bad, so sad...

Eagerly awaiting word from staff on the updates.

Quite chatty today sir

Better to keep silent and be thought the fool...

 

[Boondock Saint]

I noticed on mobile that I was bumped back to 10 posts per page. I've been on 40 since I can remember, and now the highest option is 20.

May I quote you on that? :=)

It seems like this feature would be handy to respond to posters that quoted someone they wanted to respond too w/o having to go thru all the threads. Whatever.
