It’s a bloody nuisance, to put it bluntly. There’s no need for a link to a quote in the same thread, and I’m not even sure there’s that much of a need for it anyway; how often do people quote things from other threads, or from STW into other fora? Having to phaff around selecting the link to the delete it is really over-complicating what should be a simple, un-complicated procedure.
Sorry if this annoys the IT bods, but I’ve had to do it once tonight, and it made me pretty cross, adding extra time and complexity to doing a simple c’n’p.
Oh, and to put it into context, in the ten years I’ve been posting on this forum, there has never, ever, been an occasion that I’ve thought that I needed this facility.
