You can’t automatically quote someone’s post on these boards? Holy shit that’s weak.

"You can’t automatically quote someone’s post on these boards? Holy shit that’s weak."

You mean copy and paste like I just did???

reply

What about people on devices? It’s not the 90s or early 2000s anymore. keyboard and mouse isn’t the main way of interchat anymore.

Oh. I see. I didn't understand what you meant. LOL! I wasn't aware of the fact that I am living in the dark ages on my home computer.
You are correct. There are other devices these days. I guess I just don't consider using my phone for a chat site like this. I generally use that to communicate with people I know. I also use it for information.... businesses, their addresses, phone numbers, business hours, etc.

Phones, tablets, gaming consoles, and apple products. A lot of people have replaced computers with said items. Much easier on a crowded train ride to work to check your favorite forums or websites via phone or tablet. Many families can’t afford to purchase a computer for every person in the house that’s wants to be on the net at the same time. Gaming consoles are a great solution to that problem. However there is no copy n paste for ps4 or xbox. Plus everyone is on the go these days. Not to many want to be stuck at a desk, mobility is everything.

I gotcha. Just didn't realize that you couldn't copy and paste using the other devices.... never thought of trying on my phone. Thanks for taking the time to explain these things. I appreciate it.
I had almost forgotten, but we did have an automatic quoting feature on IMDb, didn't we?

Anyway, thanks for the education. We'd best end this little discussion here, or take it some place else. I hate to side track StoneKeeper's thread.
