I just pressed the quote button. Took me less than one second. I don't quite understand what needs to be fixed, specifically.
I understand that some forum sites make heavier use of quoting than other forum sites. I understand and I agree that for really heavy usage of quoting that there should be something easy to use. Kunena may not be particularly well suited to forum sites where users want to insert 50 quotes from other users into their messages. I agree with you. I also try to avoid overuse of quoting in my responses. The quote I used above was mainly to demonstrate that I don't have too many problems with the current quote feature in Kunena. I accept that other people will differ with my opinion.
I am not aware of a way to limit nested quotes in K 2.0 but I will leave it to someone else to respond with better information if they have any.
The problem is evident above.
I quote your response and it includes not only your quote but my previous quote.
If you now quote this response, it will then show all of the responses in your post rather than just the one you are quoting.

Does this clarify what the problem is? If a bunch of people keep quoting (which some people like to do on forums more than otehrs) it will keep quoting every single post and become a huge response in no time.

I just quoted again to show the progression.
What I would like is for it to only quote the one post I am quoteing, not all the previous ones in the conversation that have been quoted.
I am very selective when I use the Quote feature. I prefer to use the Reply button instead.
I agree, it would be nice to limit the nesting of quotes with some "technology". In the meantime, you may have to rely on encouraging your users to be a little more selective. Just a thought.
I am very much like you and limit my use of the quote button. But many users rely on it especially in very busy threads.
Hopefully this is something that is on the radar for a fix as it really limits opportunities to focus discussions.
As an idea, having the quote button only quote the one post and a multiquote button to quote multiple quotes as selected by the user is the way most other forum software gets around this issue.

Something to be done for the future.
The problem is solved?
It should be quoting the selected text and multiple quotings.
