Quote text only button?

[Geonovast]

I've been trying to get into a habit of snipping out videos and superfluous pictures from quotes, and just getting the text only.  But some of those posts are really big.  Is the forum software capable of having a Quote Text Only button that parses out any media tags?

Wouldn't just highlighting the text work? Not sure what you're asking

If it's split up cleanly, sure, but a lot of posts have, say, a dozen pictures with text in between each of them.  And highlighting the whole post does quote the pictures too.

It was just a thought, definitely not worth spending real time on.

Of course this forum can parse images/video to for example a mere link. The old UBB forum did it and since they claim this is better it surely can too. It's just a matter of installing the proper plugins and/or settings.

It has nothing to do with "can't" but rather "won't" or "can't be bothered"
