Default Quoting w/ Pictures

Like this thread were someone "quotes" the first post and ALL of the pics show up a second time. There is no need for this and a total waste of bandwidth. God Bless our dial-up users.

Example Where Joe04sk quotes 1.8t.

Yes, there is a way to fix it. You volunteering?

The good news is the pictures are only downloaded once. Copies come from your browser cache.

Then people like "Joe" should be told to DELETE the pics when quoting. It's like putting seat belts in cars. The belts (like the ability to delete stuff in quotes) is there, but you can't always make people use them (unless the plan is to make the site admins more like babysitters).

It gets built into the software I am sure. Nobody is asking them to proofread every thread.

Don't sweat it xviper, it'll never happen anyway.

I especially love when people do it in "Gallery" threads.
