Description: Gives the user the option to quote the original message when replying to a PM. There is a checkbox to include the quote. Works similar to the way email works - helps to not get confused in alot of back and fourth PMs. Verified that this works with 6.3.
Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
Probably you'd have to rework things a bit.... when you are replying you're replying to a user number. Probably have to add a query somewhere to insert the name in to the quote stuff into the scripts.
Thanks for this great little hack. However, we would prefer to have the quote appear at the top of the reply rather than below the reply. Can this be done?
Edit: One other thing.... as it is now, the "Quote original PM" is checked by default. Can this be changed so it is NOT checked by default?

Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!
Make it not checked by default: Look at the instructions:
Code
<br /><!--Quote original message hack by JoshPet --><br /><input type="checkbox" name="QuoteOrig" value="1" checked="checked" class="formboxes" /><br />I want to Quote the Original Message in my Reply<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
change to:
Code
<br /><!--Quote original message hack by JoshPet --><br /><input type="checkbox" name="QuoteOrig" value="1" class="formboxes" /><br />I want to Quote the Original Message in my Reply<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
Thanks for the help. The first part which unchecks the box by default works fine. But the second modification to put the "quote" at the top of the reply returns a parse error. Are you sure your coding is 100% correct? Not knowing myself, I have to rely upon your expertise.
