When you quote somebody who has made multiple posts in a row, the reply ends up looking like the following:

[QUOTE="user"]1st post.[COLOR="#808080"]

----------

[/COLOR]

2nd post.[/QUOTE]

Which looks great and all in the final product...

[An equally thoughtful, on-topic post]

However if it is a long post or if most of it is irrelevant, many will edit the post to only show the relevant bits. However, I most have no need for the dashes if they aren't quoting more than one "post". Which brings me to my main point...

Can you change it so that the dashed lines are quoted like this instead?

[QUOTE="user"]1st post.

[COLOR="#808080"]----------[/COLOR]

2nd post.[/QUOTE]

It would probably cut down on the (albeit few) times that posts are quoted with bits of [COLOR="#808080" and [/COLOR] showing up in the middle of posts and probably occasionally messing up formatting if someone makes the mistake and decides to throw in a bit of COLOR themselves. As far as I can tell there's no reason not to implement it like this, though I might be missing something.

Thanks for your time.
