Purpose behind the new "Quote in a PM" button

Recommended Posts

You may have noticed pmquote.gif or pmquote.gif next to peoples' posts. If you click on these then the post is quoted in a PM to the author of the post (Go on give it a try now!). You can then add to the PM and say why you're sending it.

 

Why should you use this button? The reason I like to use it for is to show appreciation to someone, but not give a largely useless and annoying "LOL" or "ROFL" reply in a thread. I add a line or two underneath the quote and then we are friends ... perhaps forever.

 

I really think that this is a great addition to the forum and something that we should all get into the habit of using.

Ah I thought there was an extra button there, I had a fear of pressing it though, thanks for the heads up!

I hadn't noticed any icons before. That's a nice idea, I've quoted in PMs a couple of times before so it should come in handy.

I tried it out. I hope we can be lifelong friends due to my hilarious post of appreciation.

I just hope that The3rdChildren approves, so that it doesn't get removed.

Next time I'll make an announcement, and email every member, and PM every member, and take an ad out in "OK!". Okay? :p But seriously its in the Board News & Issues forum.

Sometimes you have to go that little bit extra.
