I think there would be barely any spam if the following rules applied to this:

• There would only be a message sent if the “quote” button was pressed and the quote was not later removed.
  
• There would only be one message sent per user per post; if you pressed the quote button multiple times the user would still only receive one message.
  

This way, you could only receive a new quoted message every 60 seconds - the only problem is that someone could quote every person on the thread per post to get multiple users at once, but quite honestly I don't think that would happen. Or, if it did, a third rule could also be added:

• You would not get a new message from the same thread until you visited that thread.
  

I guess it could also be optional just to make people happy, but I think it should be on by default so those newer to the forums who unfollow their own threads could be notified through quotes if somebody had important information.

Support for this.


What happens if a user is double quoted, like this?

Do user1 and user2 get notified or just user2?

Just the person the quote button is pressed on.

It would be nice, but given the way the forum structure works, there wouldn't be a way to add it in, I'm afraid.

You should get a notification when you are quoted in a topic that you didn't necessarily want to follow but now you know if someone replied to you. It would only send a notification when it quotes directly you, not if you are deep in the quote chain.
Look at the top notification:

I am not good a HTML don't judge .
Thoughts? Ideas?

system is only text-based. When you input

[quote=user0]

you're just telling the computer to write “user0”. It's like the @ symbol. The website takes that symbol, assumes the username after the @ is a valid username and automatically links it to that users page. It's not like a variable or anything.
I know I'm not explaining it well, but I think you understand.
No support unless the system can workaround this.

It wasn't a necropost, it was just because someone was led here via duplicate.
