I'm wondering what isn't being done correctly

Something can be done.  When quoting a post with pictures to eliminate the pictures right click and highlight the picture portion and delete it.  Pretty simple.

If I'm quoting a post that has photos that don't need to be quoted, I write my message, then click on the photos to highlight them and hit the [Delete] key. Takes 'em right out.

If I happen to need one or more of the quoted photos in my response, I click on and delete every photo but  those. It would seem not to many know they can do this (same with editing thread titles)

People are lazy. There was a post this morning that quoted a post that had already reposted many pictures. It's really bad on Scott's topic on the weekends.

Instead of using the Add Reply box at the bottom of a thread, people use the Reply with Quote feature, which quotes the entire post! About 90% of the time, it’s not needed.

Deleting unneeded text from a reply with quote is another peeve of mine. Just lazy or missed the clue train is the most likely cause.

Agreed! Even when they want to post pics, instead of waiting to upload pics then hitting the box to post pics on the thread in the upload, they just hit the reply button too quickly. That means all of us reading the thread have to click on each photo to blow it up and view.

Exactly the main reason that I never try and view that "Weekend Photo Fun" thread! Just too many cases of someone copying an entire post of many photos, then typing two words, "Nice pics.". How ridiculous!
