I don't know if anyone else has paid attention to this but now when you reply to a thread everything from the previous post is quoted.

So if the guy before my quoted someone else, then that is included in my post. Its a little redundant. Can you change it back so that its the way it was before so only the text of the person we are responding to is quoted.

No, this isn't possible. You can edit out the nested quote tags when you make your post. I think (most) people like the nested tags, as they provide a more continuity in longer threads.

I noticed it an hour or so after they updated.

Before they put that in it always bothered me when someone had posted a quote to a quote.

Great to see it fixed now

to see the real hell this can cause.

I know it can't be turned off, but it can really be bad in some cases.
