I don’t think they could modify the forum for that @KT53. They can’t even get the photos to load properly. It’s easy enough to delete the photos and bits you don’t want or irrelevant to your reply.

It's no different to having a conversation with several folk around a table in a pub ... I s'pose it depends on what your brain is used to ... some folk are perhaps more used to more orderly meetings perhaps. And just because the Quote is there, you don't have to read it ... I just scan it to see what it's referring to and move on to the reply ... not a problem.
Of course, multiple quotes can be an irritant ... but you can always change your Settings
It probably helps if we remember that many of us have been here for years and have got the hang of things, deleting bits of quotes/photos etc. For those new or occasional posters 'getting told off' for doing things the way we don't like probably seems a bit unfriendly.

I wonder what it's like to be SO busy you can't spend a few split seconds to scan past some photos in a quote to get to the reply. Maybe SO busy it's a wonder they have time to deign to drop in at all.
I don't think that's quite fair, Hosta. The problem is not the time scrolling so much as the time loading. If you have flaky internet, some threads can take minutes to load and that will continue every time you look at the page. It doesn't take long before you lose the will to bother

Isn't that mainly the photo-heavy threads tho' @raisingirl ? I think it's rarely on a 'query thread' with the exception perhaps of the Laurel Hedge one started by Befuddled .... perhaps it's time for some of the photo-heavy ones to have a new edition more often ... that's why we have a new Hello Forkers every month ... it was Nora's suggestion.
