Error madness

Post by _Tarski »

This error is driving me crazy. It happens every time I reply to someone:

You may embed only 2 quotes within each other.

How about upping that to 4 embedded quotes??

Just snip the extra quotes and then you're good to go. Yet, I agree it is a bit irritating.

Change is difficult. You'll survive. ;)

Is what necesssary? The error code or the building up of quotes?

Nope. That's way too many.

It had to have been more than 2 before the upgrade. What was wrong with that?

Before the upgrade it was infinite. What was wrong with it is that the previous software didn't have any way to eliminate the excess.

Now that we have the capability, we're finally able to take advantage of it.

I'm pretty sure I got that error in a case where I had any nesting at all. Like above or like:

quote quote ..hello there.. endquote endquote.

But it worked this time I guess.

I count the above as one nesting.
