Quoting long posts with images in them...

[BigBlockMopar]

Ok guys, this is "Annoyance & Forum petpeave" #1 for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone...

People who just blindly Quote entire posts of others, filled with pics.

Can you PLEASE filter out all the (useless) pics if you quote someone?!
As this keeps the topic more readable.

I don't want to bust some chops here, but it looks like some never seem to care if they repost an endless row of pics over again, which were only posted 1 or 2 replies above theirs.

How many times do I have to scroll through the same row of pics to get to the next reply?
Example topic (which actually sparked me to start this rant-topic); The Lincoln custom-thread:
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=304011

Even the Offtopic-pics in this topic are being quoted and therefore posted again. Come on please!
Please think before you slam that Quote-button and scribble down something. Use the REPLY-button, not the Quote-button. (And especially if you're going to put down a one-liner.)
Or, at least take the trouble to remove the images out of the person's quote in your own post.

Thank you!

Rant off.

and if you do want to quote someone that has images in their post you can always DELETE the images and just leave the words in the quote.

How do you do this you ask?? Put your cursor at the end of the words and left click and drag across the images (they will turn blue). When you get to the end, just before the [/quote] let up and then hit your delete key. Wa la, images are gone but the words stay.

No it doesn't, it's extremly important on a message board. People just need to learn how to use it properly.
