Auto-citation of Wiki Page Content with Reply to Thread

Hi all,

Just checking whether there is a way to disable auto-citation when a user Replies to Thread [discussion - wiki articles]. If not I'll advice users to use the Quick Reply functionality.

Cheers.

Unless you're using a modification that makes every reply quote its parent, I don't even know how you got that to happen. Wiki articles don't even have a quote button for the main content.

Pegasus,

Thought this may be of interest to you somehow:

PM-ed you temporary login credentials to take a look at this.

Okay I see now that this is default vB behavior in vB 4, when clicking the "+ Post Reply" button, rather than using Quick Reply. This is really annoying, because in my opinion, if someone wanted to Quote the post, they would have clicked "Reply with Quote".

As far as I can tell (checked vBulletin Settings and Forum settings), it's not possible to disable this "functionality". I suggest you post a report with vBulletin if you want to find out or get them to add a way to disable this.

I tried doing a search over there to see if anyone else was bothered by this, but vBulletin.com doesn't let you search for the terms 'quote' or 'reply'.

That is non-sensical. It is a bug. When I click the button at the TOP of a thread ... it assumes I want to reply with quote to the last post ? I clicked Reply to THREAD (not POST !).
BUG.
or they should rename the Button from:
Reply to Thread .... to ....
"Reply with Quote to last Post" (which clearly they don't want)

I think they said they fixed this.

vBulletin is losing it.

I have another "BUG" with the Reply to "Thread".

'Reply to Thread' button needs to go when Quick Replying on last posting

Thanks for this extra info. According to the first report you mentioned this can be fixed with a template edit. If that's the case, I'm moving this to the VaultWiki bugs area because its template doesn't match.
