This script adds a "quote this post" link to each post in the forums. Clicking on the link puts the text "[username] says:" and then the text of the post into the "post" box at the bottom of the page, ready for your reply.
This hack was suggested by EtsyBitch.
- Install Firefox and Greasemonkey if you haven't already got them. You'll need to restart Firefox after installing Greasemonkey.
- Once Greasemonkey is installed and running, follow this link (or click on the orange "install" button above).
- The "quote post" script will be downloaded, and Greasemonkey will ask if you want to install it. Assuming you trust me, click "Install".
- Go to a forums thread, and each post will have a "quote this post" link added to it.
