[Rombo di Tuono]

Modification Name: Kill Extra quote Mod
Author: Rombo di Tuono

Modification Description: "Kill Extra Quote" Mod ERASES from the posting form (textarea) the nested quote that exceed the limit set in ACP.
Modification Version: 1.0 RC1

Requirements: phpBB 3.0.x

Features:
How it works:
Instead of blocking user from posting a message with too many nested quote, the Kill Extra Quote Mod erases the exceeding quotes at the moment the user presses the "quote" button.
So the user finds in the textarea form posting the correct numebr of nested quotes, because the mod has taken away the oldest.

Demos and instructions follow.
