Oh, that would explain why Dragooon was confused about it, too...
I updated the first post to reflect the fact that you need to hold either Shift or Ctrl while pressing Enter. Thanks.It's because I rewrote the feature in the meantime, after some complaints about the fact that this behavior wasn't optional. So, I made so you needed to press Shift or Ctrl at the same time. Which was fine by me...

Holy cow... That's the automatic quote splitter I've been mentioning since the beginning.

It's also mentioned prominently in the post area.

What else should I do to get people interested in it, if even those who are looking for a quote helper haven't noticed it..?!
Have it enabled by default, and show a popup explaining what it did, and offering to disable it..?!?!

:-/

Yeah. Then again, it's complicated... It's something like, json_encode is faster than serialize, but json_decode is slower than unserialize, or the other way around... Plus, both systems behave differently depending on the complexity of the string.
All in all, I'd decided not to look further into it, but considering that we don't use caching that much, I don't think there would be much of an improvement, whether you want to use serialize or json_encode. After all, I think that most of the caching process is spent on the file system manipulation, rather than data manipulation itself.I'm not so sure about it...
I mean, there are many cases where the delay is very short, to avoid being too much behind the real data, so I think that at least half of the time, caching will fail for something, because it's not accessed that much.
I don't have any data to prove my point, though...Good idea.

$a = microtime(true); for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) { my code... } echo " ", microtime(true)-$a;
$a = microtime(true); for ($i=0; $i<1000; $i++) { my alt code... } echo " ", microtime(true)-$a;

I love how easy it is to benchmark stuff in PHP... Eh, I can even write the above in just a few seconds, I've done it so many times already... :P

Sorry for being so slow on work these days, BTW... I'll try to upload the latest commits you did, though.

Is it worth trying to implement a text mode quote system similar to text emails..?
Then we can easily manipulate multiple quote levels.

There is already a special codepath in parse_bbc (Subs-BBC::592) that goes through a quote's parent quotes, and alternates their styling.
Meaning, we can reuse this to additionally add a "show quote" class/behavior to the penultimate quote in the stack.
Alternatively, we can also get rid of that code block and instead use CSS to alternate style (I gave it a try, it's an additional 13 gzipped bytes compared to an .alternate > div styling solution, but obviously it also saves us a few HTML bytes, as well as processing time.)
Then we'll be back to square one when it comes to showing "show quote", but whatever... ;)

I'm not talking about hiding all quotes for them, rather simply stripping off nested quotes for their own posts.

Although, well, it could be possible to strip quotes at runtime. Say, in ob_sessrewrite...

Or... Let me think about it... Replace all nested quotes with a "Show this quote" button..? At least it won't take as much size, although it'll still be a problem with the database size, but I think we have a setting around here to prevent long quotes from being saved, or something...?

rev 2127 -- and that'll be all for tonight... I hope!!

! Forgot to include Subs-Cache fix to last commit... Oops. (Subs-Cache.php)

! Fixed error when quick-editing a post during the grace period. In fact, parse_bbc() should always set posts as coming from the original author, rather than the one who edited it. Also rewrote something to make it shorter and execute faster. (JSModify.php)

* Did some more work to improve Wireless on Android. Unfortunately, this means I had to add a few odd fixes here and there, due to Android not actually showing stuff as expected. See the Recent Posts page... Brr. Well, better than nothing. I probably broke some other mobile browser in the process, but I can't test them all... (Wireless/extra.css)
