This does not work without JavaScript, for the three of you using Tor without JavaScript.
Lol at the Tommy Tooter quote in a thread called "Not all pedophiles should be jailed" talking about him ass raping a dog
 
oh no… the JavaScript-worshipping satanic Silicon Valley elites finally got their hands on Null! next thing you know, threads are gonna have infinite scrolling instead of pages and we’re gonna start getting cookie pop-ups :cryblood:
"We thought you might like to see..." and then nudes from Beauty Parlor.
 
This feature also works with the multi-quote system, so you can reply to individual parts of multiple large posts at once.
Glad to see this was finally fixed. even without DDOS anytime I tried it would time out
 
For those instances, there is still a way to quote-reply to a specific part of the post. Simlpy highlight what you're replying to.

You can then reply to this directly in the reply box as normal.

thank you
How about on mobile?

Edit: holy shit it actually works
 
Very long posts cannot be quote-replied in full.

OK but WHY is this the case? I have heard varying explanations between "Null doesnt like it" and "The software doesnt support it".

I guess it's not a huge deal since we can simply use the quote feature (as I am doing now), but it's still an odd limitation. If it's to somehow save on storage space (Through reducing redundant text) it feels like a placebo, as typically people will just piecemeal quote the entirety of a massive post if they're wanting to respond to it (As i've seen happen plenty of times), or such a post would otherwise have been spread over several smaller posts, and if each are subsequently replied to; you've ultimately stored the same amount of "redundant" data (Possibly slightly more, as I assume two half-size posts take up MORE space than a single long one, due to the extraneous accompanying metadata to identify the poster).

If it's a software limitation; I really have no idea how that came to be the case.

What is even the point of quote-replying to a post if it's very large? What does the quote actually supply to your response if it's that big? If you're writing a response to an author and quote his entire book, how does that even help? There is literally no point (aside from giving a button to click to view the reference post), but it also bloats the page with tons of extra shit that it does not need. If someone makes a huge post with images and youtube videos and every reply is a response to it, your browser loads the same shit 15 fucking times. It's awful.

It's strictly "Null doesn't like it" and I've always used technical means to try and persuade people to use the site in a more productive way that I believe works best.
 
i look forward to 80%+ of the site continuing to be confused and angry when unable to respond to full long posts and complaining that it’s broken.
This has been around for a while, hasn’t it? Either way, thanks for the primer. I am very guilty of quoting an entire post, even if I only want to respond to a tiny part of it.
Replying to long posts has been disabled for a while, but being able to respond to fragments of longer posts that were otherwise disabled is new.
 
I don't know if this is a feature or an error, but sometimes posts that quote a message are unquotable despite not being that long, i guess because whatever it is that determines if a message is long enough to get directly quoted or not takes the first quote into consideration?

If the quote in the post is too long, the post becomes unquotable as well.
