AMEN!

This is one of the most aggravating things I see happen here. Someone will use the "Reply with Quote" feature and repeat about 20 images in his post, only to say "Nice pictures." or something similar. 

What they said.  I usually always "Reply with Quote" and am very conscious of only keeping the photo (s) that I am commenting on specifically. Thanks for bring this up again.

I edit the "quote" box so only the photo I want to mention is within it.

May not amount to much, but I don't see any reason to needlessly drive up the space requirements for this forum by including superfluous photos that aren't part of my reply. Photos take up space on the server. I suspect that's not free. (I suspect as server space goes up, the costs for same goes up.)

I almost always edit any quote to only contain the pertinent details of any reply.  Not only does it save space, it makes it easier to understand what you're replying to.

Me too and I learned it from you and other seasoned forum users here. Some people I don't think realize they can simply back space and edit it. Maybe if they see this post it will help.

And I just saw that I had a word misspelled in my reply above but I think I got it fixed before Rich caught it. Haha.  Just kidding Rich. 😄.

I haven’t opened up the weekend photo fun thread in over 5 years for this exact reason !

Can the "reply with quote" give an opt-in option for the photos instead of having to edit the OP's post?

I always edit my replies anyway and only re-post what I am commenting on. Or, I just call out the OP by adding their screen name to my comments.

And I don't shoot vertical videos either.......

OK, here's a suggestion: every time you see a poster copy someones WHOLE POST, photos and all, send an "alert" to the Forum Moderators. Then, have the Forum Moderators delete that offenders entire post. That way, maybe,,,,,,,,,,,just MAYBE, more people would stop doing that crap!

I think if we have to scroll past two dozen “featured topics” every time we visit the forum, scrolling past some extra pictures isn’t a big deal IMHO.

I strongly disagree! Why do some people copy an ENTIRE post, having many, MANY photos, simply to type only one sentence, such as "Nice photos.", etc.???

I agree with most of you all saying and just like the picture a day topic and front end friday topic you all reply with a quote and say nice picture etc. For example its a picture a day topic not discussion topic start a new thread if you need to discussion something or personal email them. It ****es me off when you all do that i get so many emails no since in it.
