    Timestamps on quotes

    It would be neat if, when a post is quoted, it shows the date/time as well as the original poster in the quote. Would this be hard to achieve? Something like..

    I reckoned it might not be rocket science! Reason is that sometimes a quoted post (often modified) can be from a few pages back and it can be a pain in the ass going backwards to find the original without date/time to help.

    Aye, I agree. I'd quite like the whole history of quotes to be included too, at least as an option.
    It can get annoying if you get too many nested quotes but it does give some context sometimes.

    Definitely. There is a definite loss of clarity without the nested quotes, especially if you have been off GW for a while and are looking at current posts.

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
