Quoting
Why is it that when I click "quote" to reply to a post, only the text from the poster in question is shown? If that poster quoted other people, then their posts do not show up as well. Thus the post I'm trying to make is missing the context of a longer conversation.

Yup, regrettably, it's a limitation of the current forum software that it works this way. I do think it is partly to prevent giant "walls of quotes." Some newer forum software have other ways of handling this (e.g. by collapsing nested quotes), but unfortunately it's not a feature of this current software. If you wish you can re-add the nested quotes manually using multi-quote... but it's a bit of a pain to do.

I'm happy that's the case to be honest. I find long thread tails in replies unnecessary and annoying, in particular ones the repeat embedded images or videos. If you want to respond to a number of posts just use the "multi-quote" button. If people want to look for context, they have the whole thread in front of them.
