I've had several times where I accidentally press quote instead of edit on one of my posts........would admin be able to setup a way so you cannot quote your own post? Most of the time I do not realize I've quoted my own post until after I click post and finally realize I clicked quote and not edit.

Unfortunately, in the computer world, there are not always safeguards against stupidity. Try to work your way around it.

Apple has safeguarding stupidity down to an art.

I wish I could say it that bluntly to clients/users whenever they file dumb issue reports... Like one where someone said the "update" button shouldn't update the thing in question until you're sure you want to update it...

^^^ Issues like the OP's, as well as what you just explained are the reasons I could never work in I.T.

Could we also have an option in the user CP, where it won't list any posts except the OP, the users posts? Since most people do this automatically, imagine the amount of bandwidth it would save!

Luckily for me I do the development/designing, so I can tell them it's not going to happen, ever... :D

But being able to be blunt about it would be a nice.

Human beings are so flawed as it is, the more safeguards the better lol
