I think this would be a cool feature.
 
I'm a member of another forum, more geared towards music and the like (I'll withhold the name to refrain from advertising), and they have this feature called "Who Quoted Me". It's pretty much exactly what it says. You click on the "Who Quoted Me" link in your control panel and it'll list all of the posts that someone has quoted you. I've used it a ton to keep track of conversations in multiple threads and especially in ones I'd normally forget about.

It might not sound that cool but it's a really handy feature.

Legobricks June 30th, 2009 7:55 AM

I've always wanted something like that. I thought it was already somewhere amongst subscription options, eluding me, but after really looking... huh.

Ryuzaki_Lawliet June 30th, 2009 7:57 AM

^^ Yes! We shall ask the admins about this. Or at least, I hope we do because this sounds really cool and unique.

Cherrim June 30th, 2009 9:37 AM

I'd support adding something like this if you knew exactly what the plugin/feature was called.

.little monster June 30th, 2009 9:40 AM

I would support this as well. Seems handy.

Kazukii June 30th, 2009 9:40 AM

Mhmm sounds good. Someone will know what it's called :)

ShinjisLover June 30th, 2009 9:41 AM

That sounds kinda cool, actually. I hope we can get this feature.

Sajuuk June 30th, 2009 9:42 AM

I'm trying to find it on vBulletin.org, what is the vBulletin version for PokeCommunity? So I can narrow down the search?

Arcanine June 30th, 2009 9:44 AM

As long as you're able to be able to turn the feature on or off... because for some of us who don't care about being quoted... yea it'd get a little annoying.

I agree with ya Arcanine, it will eventually have it's fame, then become a head sore.

How counterproductive. If someone's quoting you they're generally making a direct reply to your post.
But yeah, I do agree that like any other feature this should be optional.

3.8, actually.

And if it's a thread you have no further interest in, I can see how constant replies would get annoying. Especially if it's just something like a poll in OVP that you started and a lot of people start quoting the first post as they reply. :[

Sajuuk June 30th, 2009 9:58 AM

Thanks, searching for a mod named "Who Quoted Me?" on vBulletin.org

Lady Berlitz June 30th, 2009 9:59 AM

That'd be a great feature to add to PC. I believe that feature is on YouTube and DeviantArt, as well.

Sajuuk June 30th, 2009 10:01 AM

I can't find it. What is the actual name of the hack?

Mobile Tsk June 30th, 2009 10:08 AM

Kind of pointless honestly...

I don't see why you would need to know who's quoted you. If you're interested in the thread, you'd already see it.

Ah, yeah. I don't start many threads so that didn't occur to me. :0

Frankly I'd rather not keep a billion tabs open just to check for replies.

What do you mean by "you'd already see it"? It's not pointless, because you may want to know who's replied to your message (instead of the odd number of people who add to your reputation with a comment). If you're interested in a thread, it doesn't mean you check back to see it all the time. You may miss something that you don't know about.

jasonresno June 30th, 2009 11:26 AM

Glad to see this thread is getting some attention. I don't know the name of the mod or anything like that so i'm sorry I can't help you that way. Personally I loved the idea when I used it on the other site. Instead of sifting through long threads I could go straight to where someone directly addressed me. Antyways hope you guys keep this idea a possibility!

Nick June 30th, 2009 11:29 AM

This feature would really be useful to me. I know I've come to the situation where someone's replied to me with a direct quote from a post I've made, and I found it a month or two later, where it's irrelevant and no longer able to be replied to. Then I feel guilty for not replying to the person, since I usually like to respond to whoever directs some form of communication to me.

.inLOVE June 30th, 2009 11:33 AM

^What Nick said. I've come across situations where I never replied to them because it was too late. I could really use this feature.

^ This.
It is an interesting idea, but it is a little pointless...

I wouldn't be for it.

Taemin June 30th, 2009 11:35 AM

Oh! I've heard of this before.. xD'

Is this sort of what you're talking about?

There's also this one.. that's a bit similar. o.o

Who Quoted Me?

Chibi-chan June 30th, 2009 11:39 AM

I wouldn't be using something like this. Usually when something I say is quoted, it's in an active conversation I'm in. Because it's an active conversation, I tend to read what's said. It's rare that members are quoted without them knowing it or being in the conversation.

If you want to keep track of a conversation in a thread...why not just subscribe to it? It's much easier.

Taemin June 30th, 2009 11:44 AM

I think it'd be neat, then again.. I really don't like I'm subscribed to so many threads, and I rarely ever check them. So if I had a way to know that someone quoted me, and is actually talking to me in one of them, that would make it easier then reading through five pages or more to find out.

But I see how people could find it annoying, at the same time. It would be nice if people could disable it, if they wanted to.

I think the disabling thing would be cool. I don't get how people quoting you is annoying but I guess everybody is different.

It's not that people quoting you is annoying, it's that there will be a list of people who quoted you somewhere in your User CP. It's an appropriate idea to allow people to disable these lists.

Melody June 30th, 2009 12:14 PM

Well, if our resident php genius could get this code ported for vB 3.8 (if it doesn't already support it) I'm all for this feature. I like to know when I'm quoted personally. XD

Same. On lots of threads like the daily chit chat, I am pretty sure I've been quoted once or twice on there and I'd like to know how often, too, like if I am respected enough to be quotedness!

Off topic: The big 400! YESH!

Rukario June 30th, 2009 3:51 PM

I foresee a major crash of pc due to so many sql queries to keep track of the 1000's of OT post quotes.

BOOM

bgt June 30th, 2009 4:11 PM

Sounds awesome but at the rate Steve is doing with server administration on this current server. fail. Unless you want to donate more... *runs*

I've been rooting for IQ based registration for ages. Just think. Wouldn't have had to deal with Mobile Tsk. win

I literally wouldn't even have to ban anyone. They'd all be intelligent enough to read the rules.

jasonresno July 1st, 2009 11:23 AM

I really liked the feature on the other forum because many times I would drop a post in a thread and then forget that thread existed. So if I were quoted or something I'd be able to know to go back and respond and read up on the thread.

Anywhoot it was just an idea and I'm glad some of you guys liked it. Maybe one day *shrug*.

Xarses July 1st, 2009 11:30 AM

This idea seems really, I dunno, unique? I've never heard of something like that and thinking about it... it'd be pretty frickin' awesome. I'm all for it :3
