    On the forum, I think it would be nice.

    It looks like this functionality is only available on vBulletin 4 and greater. I will look around to see if a mod exists for our version, but preliminary searches are not coming up with anything :(

    Having quotes inside a quote might be useful too.

    I already log on to, like, 9 notifications sometimes. inb4 1337 notifications.

    Good idea, though.

    Agreed, it could be useful, but I've seen it abused waaaaay too many times, with overly-long quote-inside-quote-inside-quote-inside-quote boxes posted with a pointless one-line reply added. It can get really hard to figure out who said what and also it can take up a lot of space.

    As for getting a notification when someone quotes you, it would be nice to have this as an option that can be selected or deselected.

    The notification function is really handy, i've been using it on other forums for quite a while.

    That's why you automatically spoiler nested quotes, and it becomes better in every way.
