vBulletin Nested Quote

Script Summary: Helps you nest the first [quote] tag in a message on vBulletin.

This script lets you nest quoted posts in your post, for vBulletin boards that don't nest quotes. Technically it doesn't actually copy the entire post you're replying to; rather it adds a button to automate a nesting process that would otherwise be done manually. Click the "Nest Quote" button (next to the Title textbox) and the script:

  1. Finds the deepest nested quote inside the first quote in your post.
  2. Goes out and finds the first nested quote inside that.
  3. Quotes that post and adds it to your post.

Click it again and it will nest another quote, if it can. This also means that:

  • It only works with the first quote, in any post; it doesn't work well with multiquote.
  • It copies the original post, not whatever was in the quote. So any changes, such as removing part of the post or "fixing" the post, won't be present. (But you can modify the quote after it's nested.) It also doesn't copy quotes that don't reference another post.
  • It pastes the original post at the top of the quote it's nested inside of, regardless of where it was in the original post.
  • On the other hand, it copies the first quote from the deepest nested original post. This means you can nest more quotes than the person you're quoting did, if you need to.

I hope you like the Nest Quote button. Please use it responsibly!
