Replying with a quote with a quote

AI Thread Summary
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.

I noticed that when I use the "reply with quote" feature, and the post that I want to quote already quotes in it, those 2nd-level quotes just disappear when I go to type my reply. It would be great if nested quotes would appear. Thanks.

You Can , Just Forget About The Quote Button At The Top , And Wrote The Quote Tags By Yourself .
Use [] Instead Of <>

Actually, to make them nested, you need another <quote> tag at the top, and get rid of the tag at the top of the second quote, as follows:

Homework Statement: Not applicable. I'm asking about a technical problem with the PhysicsForums software Relevant Equations: \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} I posted the LaTeX code for an expression in the "relevant equations" and "attempt at a solution" boxes. When I'm in the "attempt at a solution" box and I click "Preview," I do not see a preview of the expression properly displayed, only the code. After I post this message...
