jmason Posts

Maybe an addition to the existing process for redirecting double-posts will address this issue. Keep the double-post warning but append the intended quote on the end of the BB textbox's content with the user's still-latest post to allow the user to get the quote message, and use it as intended while on edit mode for his/her post.

Like, if the original URL has mode set to quote (?mode=quote), then if the validation process detects that it will lead to a double-post, one can include a quoting parameter to the intended redirection URL with the quoted post id, append a new process to handle that parameter and retrieve the quote message for appending.

Although on the downside the URL will be a bit longer, and a wee bit of time will add to the loading process to get the quoted post message.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe this one can be extensive depending on how the double-post detection process goes. My stepbrother chided me for being too detailed on my suggestion so I scaled it down. But hopefully the gist is still clear ^_^
