Week in Review 3/7/14

Another week of Forza, wrapped up and reviewed for your reading pleasure!

We want to hear from you: Do you use “nested quotes” here on the FM.net forums? We want to get an idea of how many people use this feature so, if you’re a fan, let me know here in this thread. As always, thanks for your input!

Just wondering about Private race sessions, would you be able to invite people straight into the session or would that still have to go through a party?

I use nested quotes (typically with a little editing to trim the quotes’ points), but I can’t say I’ve ever used Multi-Quote.

What is ‘nested quotes’ ? I’m not understanding that bit at all.

But as far as the favorite car question for the new Forza 5 DLC,

I think the answer is clear,

(if you’re doing it! thanks!)

Really digging that livery for that Challenge Stradale. I’m a sucker for downloading replica racing liveries from the storefront to spruce up my stable of cars and that is one livery I wouldn’t mind showing off.

Also cool to see the Toyota GT-ONE make it into FM5, but I wonder why we haven’t yet seen an appearance of the Toyota TS030 Hybrid LMP? One of my favorite things to do in FM4 was to go into Free Race mode hop into the BMW V12 LMR at Le Mans and race, mainly because I knew there would always be a GT-ONE in the lineup (for some reason in my game he was always P7 at the start, in the row behind my BMW) and I would battle it out like it was the closing laps in 1999. It would be neat to see the TS030 finally make the lineup so fans can recreate the battle between Toyota and Audi with its R18 etron. I would also love to take the TS030 down the Mulsanne Straight at full throttle - the thing sounds like an angry lightsaber. That would never get old.

To answer your question - I’ve never used the nested quotes option. I usually just find it easier to copy and paste the text of whatever I want to quote from a previous poster’s reply. Just personal preference.

Nested quotes? Not too familiar with that. After I watched DomesticMango’s vid, and it made me want to hop on Horizon! That’s pretty cool about that XB1 bundle coming out on the 10th, but alas I’m not interested, for I already have one on the way. Glad to hear that the recovery is going well with half of the Vettes out!

I went back onto Horizon this week. Reminded me of how good that game was, I really want a Horizon 2 now!

Not sure about what nested quotes are. If that’s just the ‘Quote’ feature people use when replying to specific posts then yes, I do use that.

In more confused news, why do people put their GT and a ‘unicorn car’ or ‘credits’, even when you don’t specifically say you’re giving them? Do you give them anyway?
idk. But just in case I’m gonna do it as well :smiley:

Yes B i am a fan so keep it comin.!!! I am happy to see T10 adding more cars and tracks to F5. So when i finally get a X1 there will be alot of dlc. The new rivals help keep me iterested and gives me more things and cars to try i hope it continues each month. As for the In Focus thread it is a great addition to the forums i like having all the reads. The fact that its about us forza lovers makes it even better!!! This weeks HMA was neat to see a guy doin what he loves a winning shows with it, its inspiring ( i just got the subaru s204 ) .THANKS Mr Mechberg… F4- RX7 SPIRIT R.

Updated - I was confusing multi-quote with nested quotes.

Having nested quotes is nice, but is typically over-used. It would be nice if the default was to quote only the current post and not the quotes inside it (or maybe just 2 deep) with an option to do a full nested quote if it is really needed.

When people properly edit down nested quotes, they can be essential. When people just blindly keep hitting ‘quote’ it becomes a mess after about the 3rd or 4th repeat.

The Quote feature is good and is used a lot, its a good way to answer or ask a question so the person knows what and why you are asking/answering them.

Best car in the new car pack for me is the Mk1 Scirocco love myself a rocco

Here is an example of nested quotes for anyone that is unsure about what they are.
