I know that you love to quote what other members have written in the past.  There obviously is no problem with that.   However, the way you do it ends up with all messages be extended to a wider margin - with the top messages ending up under the adverts.  The result is that the top messages ended up under th adverts and cannot be read.


The easy way to quote member's comments - without disrupting the margins in the way it is done at present is to do the following:-


1. Open up an ordinary message. 


1.  Start the message off by NAMING the MEMBER OF THE MESSAGE you want to quote and give the date of the quote.


2.  COPY AND PASTE THE ACTUAL MESSAGE YOU WANT TO quote and if you feel like that HIGHLIGHT it.


If you then want to comment but in a sub-heading indicating that what follows are your comments on the quote.


You may not find your present method has problematic consequences - but other members do have problems that stemmed from widening the margins on the computer resulting in a major part of the threat ending up under the messages.  Even if your message is the last one - the whole from the top will be changed and the initial messages will all be unreadable and under the advertisements.


Please be considerate towards others and change your method of quoting members.  When oimatey made the same mistake and it was pointed out to him - he obliged immediately and the string was corrected.   Why can't you do the same?


Please I am asking you nicely to try and keep messages in the normal margin area.

 I have told you to p!ss off and I explained the reasons on the other thread where you have been b!tching about it. In addition to the one that I just mentioned, you also crapped yourself on another thread and now you have chosen to start an entire thread about it. Get off your lazzy behind and go read my reply on the other thread.

Please I may have been rude on the other threads - but why are you so inconsiderate and refuse a reasonable suggestion to stop top messages on threads being covered by adverts.
I have suggested a method easy to apply - yet you find it impossible to agree to.  Why is that?  
Incidentally in one case you blame the initial posting for the disruption - but the initial posting and all subsequent postings were within the normal margins until you start to make quotations.
What is wrong in doing it the way I suggested?   It does not make the initial postings partly readable only because of disappearance under the adverts.   It does not remove from you the right to quote members and comment on their quotes.   It does not cause inconvenience to other members - like what happens now.   
Please be reasonable and not impossible as your present response implies.

 Foeitog - he tries something and miss the spelling.  Look - I tried to be reasonable under this thread and you come along with rubbish.  Please stop your normal twaddle and stick to rugby.  Omigosh - that is a topic you know zero about.

Standard MO for this provincial bureaucrat. He insults a poster day and night (he apparently never sleeps) and then decides there are tactical advantages in being polite in one thread....and expects his fellow posters to fall for that.

The top liar on the site is back - if you can prove that I ever was a "provincial bureaucrat" then do so - otherwise stop being the top liar on the site.  In any event - all the threads on which Ceradyne put quotes are disrupted and the top postings go under the adverts and is only partially readable.
What is wrong with asking him to do it differently - you numbskull.   This thread has nothing to do with you in any event - it is a serious request to Ceradyne not to destroy parts of threads.

It is not only me that is put at a disadvantage - it is everyone on this site who suddenly find that parts of the threads are not readable anymore.   If you want to be inconsiderate to all site members - why not state that outright as well.

Many opening posts sometimes gets hidden behind ads and I do not see you throwing your toys around about those. I have told you how I deal with those threads. 
I suggest you dry your eyes now, and revisit my suggestion.

Lets take the post that you say Sharkboks initial post caused the problem.  It was not so so - the margins only become distorted with your quotes and the way it was done.  Whenever that happens - all the margins of postings on that thread from the top to the bottom  gets disrupted.
I did not see anywhere that you made any suggestion to change your manner of posting quotes - so what was it?
In some cases it does happen that initial posts  (especially those with photos) cause problems - but that is rare  and when it happened in the past - like the case was with oimatey - he removed the part of his message that caused the disruption of the margins when it was pointed out to him.   The margins immediately reverted to the normal ones.
Please for the benefit of all members - see that it does not happen in future.

 Just goes to show. I have told you what I do but since the dementia is probably kicking in again, I will repeat it. 
Whenever I find that some parts of a post is hidden behind the ads, I use a quick fix. A quickly copy that part of the text, open a note in Notepad and paste it on there and read it. Easy as pie. 
That way nobody has to go through the trouble of reformatting their posts or re-post it in a special way so that Maaikie feels all warm and comfy. 
I could also, like you of course, embark on one cry-baby session after another and irritate the crap out of everybody else.

 It still means a lot of bother for everyone and you are the cause of it.   Please be more considerate to other people and not be a real problem case on this site.   What is wrong with the simple solution to the problem I suggested?  It certainly is not any more work and it certainly does not cause problems for anyone on the site.    It certainly does not remove your right to quote what other people wrote and you want to quote.   
This is no way to show consideration for the feelings of all site members.  I do not care what you do and say in respect of me - but do it for the benefit of all members please.

 Mike has my back on this one.
Her comments often get cut off on the side because of the way she cuts and pastes her articles.
Come on Cera, it really isnt anything nasty that ou mike has asked for.

 Chippo, with all due respect, mate, ou  Maaikie has not gone off on a tantrum like this when other posts stuffs up the margins. He is being pedantic and has been like a little baby over it. I have said, on more than one occasion that whenever I notice that a post of mine has severely stuffed up the margins, I immediately try to adjust my post. I am not going to take special care when it has no real impact on the thread, just to calm down this sulking old fart. The thread where he threw his toys out of the cot is still quite acceptable. Go check the "Potgieter thread".    http://www.ruckersforum.com/forum.cfm?threadid=13837#inscore_ifheight_xdc_500
It is only the opening post that is affected and none of the text on the opening post is covered. 
He is just having a p!ss about it for the sake of having a p!ss about it.

 Look - I give up on this self-centered piss-brain.  He has no consideration for other members and is in league with his piss-brain partner Mozart. 
It is not only in the one post - it happened in every thread he quoted me or Dave.  We are the only two people he really quoted posts from - so he is as brain-dead as his partner Mozart.    My best advice - since he does not understand rugby in any event - please keep up this befuddled way of doing things that affect all members and is done because you think you are irritating me - you are an inconsiderate piece of sh!t of a dunce

Ceradunce and Moffie both have a long history of screwing up the margins for other posters and not giving a toss about fixing it even when asked. That's just how those two self-centred squealers roll.

 In fairness, it is not always possible to notice stuffed up margins as the display is not the same on all devices. It is sometimes terrible on my phone, but perfectly fine on my laptop. I do however agree that it is lank irritating when it happens and it's not all that easy to cut and paste on the phone. Possible yes, but I just don't bother jumping through the hoops.

Cera, this request from Mike is fair and that seems to be the consensus. I think if the request had come from another poster you would have been cool with it. But by all means, you two can keep going at it, but in this one area, please help the rest of us out?

"If I was being called a 'dofdoos' daily then perhaps my margins would be out of kilter on occasions."

Oh I see. Well, quite apart from the fact that they're stuffing up the margins for everyone and not just Ou Maaik, are you suggesting that Ceradunce and Moffie never call Ou Maaik any names?

 Typical of Mozart and Ceradyne - as inconsiderate as hell - and then they are proud about it.  I do not think they ever care for anybody but themselves and are always in cahoots to cause problems on the Board.  Two of the most egocentric characters I ever came across.
