    Has anyone else noticed that when you quote someone who has in turn quoted someone that it shows the original quoted message as a quote within a quote. Is this something that the site has done deliberately?

    I've noticed this a lot more over the last couple of days. Didn't think it was an automatic thing.

    Is it something that just happens when people quote while posting from a phone? Just a wild guess.

    I think it happens when people quote on the mobile/touch site.
    Don't quote me on that though. :pac:

    Precisely. It's a quote within a quote.

    It can be quite handy to see the context of the original post.

    It takes exponentially longer to read each quote the deeper you go though.

    Cobb: You create the world of the dream, you bring the subject into that dream, and they fill it with their subconscious.
    Ariadne: How could I ever acquire enough detail to make them think that its reality?
    Cobb: Well dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange. Let me ask you a question, you, you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.
    Ariadne: I guess, yeah.
    Cobb: So how did we end up here?
    Ariadne: Well we just came from the a...
    Cobb: Think about it Ariadne, how did you get here? Where are you right now?
    Ariadne: We're dreaming?
    Cobb: You're actually in the middle of the workshop right now, sleeping. This is your first lesson in shared dreaming. Stay calm.
