I think it would be cool if, when something is italicized in the initial post, it becomes unitalicized if it is quoted in a future post.

So that way, you could still see that the word was italicized in the original post.

You should go to the other thread and introduce yourself to...yourself. :)

I agree that would be a nice feature, but it is not configurable and would require a code change.

I don't mean to discourage site suggestions because some have been really good, and if it is natively configurable, we have done it. But inline code changes hurt the upgrade path of the software, make upgrades harder, and could harm the support from the software vendor.

We have had some great suggestions that are configurable and we have put them in based upon your feedback:

- user promotion system for greater benefits for avatar and pms based upon post count
- smilies
- spoiler hider
- youtube tags
- user blogs

Some require code modifications and I will always recommend against modifying code every day and twice on Sundays even if the feature makes sense, since I don't want to introduce bugs or see it wiped out after the next upgrade.

- Reply all
- Italicize quoted messages

So keep the suggestions coming. If it is simple as flipping a switch, we will consider it. A lot of members have come up with good ideas that we don't think of. But just say "No!" to code modifications. :)

No problem. I post a lot of my random junk as ideas for what we call at my office "future enhancements", thinking that maybe the admins could make suggestions to the developers for ways to improve future releases. :)

Plus, I like to make up words like unitalicization. :p
