The discussion centers around the limitations of the "reply with quote" feature in a forum, specifically regarding the disappearance of second-level quotes when quoting a post that already contains quotes. Users express a desire for nested quotes to be visible, as they were in previous forum versions. A workaround is suggested: instead of using the quote button, users can manually insert quote tags using square brackets instead of angle brackets to create nested quotes. This method allows for longer quoted posts, although it requires more effort from users. The conversation also humorously touches on the idea of the extra effort being a form of exercise.
