Hey,

This has been annoying me for a while. Would it be possible to update the quotation tags to support names, so it's easier to tell who is being quoted?

Basically, these are the quotes we all know and love:

[quote[/b]]Ponies are awesome[/quote[b]]
Quote: "Ponies are awesome"


And this is my feature request:

[quote="TheComet"]Ponies are awesome[/quote[b][/b]]


Is this possible to do?

I think that is awesome, but then what if we wanted to include a URL for external quotes

{QUOTE="Title Text"-"http://blabla.com/pagebla.ext"} ... {/quote} [Replace {} with [] of course]

Which would create a reference Title as TheComets example above, along with a URL on the title as a link... of course that can be left as "" so then it is just not clickable...

This has my vote, too. Been wanting it for years, as often times I have to specify who I'm quoting and it gets tedious!

I also vote for this! Seems like the idea's popularity is strong!

And TBH, I wouldn't mind seeing the entire forum adopt the style that the quote theComet demonstrated has. Definitely not a layout change, but a style change would be nice.

I have no signature.

I would mind, I prefer the non-stylus style of the forums, they are clean and simple, I love that.
