someone has quoted you...

[iceberg]

only they quoted someone else in a convo i'm also in. not me directly.

is there a way to turn these notifications off and have it tell me ONLY when *i* am the one being quoted/replied to?

Good question.

Good question.

i've not looked at the backend of xenforo lately but i think there's something there to control it. i've never found it in my own profile settings.

I just wanted to get a post in, so I could hear the answer...

i just come back and see 20 alerts and none are really aimed at me, i'm just in the convo. takes a bit to clear those out and try to catch up on conversations i'm involved in.

Unfortunately no.

When you reply to a particular post, delete everything except the post you are replying to. That way only the post you replied to will show (along with your reply) when you post your reply. Works for me anyway.

That's a good idea and I do that sometimes but sometimes it's a PITA to do that, depending on how long the other posts are or how many there are, and if you are in a heated discussion, who has the time to do that? Then you might lose your train of thought!

Just highlight the text you want to respond to and use the add quote function. No pain.

It also annoys me that they won't limit it to only the post the person is replying to.

You are trying to fix holiday fruitcake. Many have tried, we still have fruitcake. ONE fruitcake and it gets mailed to everyone in turn.

When it's your turn and you get it just hammer in some nails and send it on to the next person. Bad things happen if you break the chain.

It is though when you lack patience. Do you think I got 70,000 posts by posting carefully and taking my time? Hell no! I post like a maniac.

It takes just a second to delete all the useless blather so my 'train' stays on it's rails.

I don't know about that. Some people tend to post novels, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I have no patience for posts that are novels. Typically, the more they post the less they comprehend on the subject.
