I always have to manually edit my post when quoting someone else and getting several nested quotes like this:
This has also been recently discussed
here.
So I've written a small user script that removes all the extra quotes, leaving only the latest one:
It also shows 3 links to use the whole text, only the latest quote (default), or just a "~snip~":
Here's what the snip button does:
Important: You should use these 3 buttons
before making any editions. You may lose your work otherwise.
To install this userscript you need to:

})();

Capture taken on Android. It works the same on PC/Mac/Laptop.
Notes and limitations:
- It will not run if there are no quotes inside your quote (no nested quotes)
- It only considers regular quotes ([ quote author=username link=...), not other simple quotes
- It may behave strangely if the nested quote is not at the beginning or if there are several quotes mixed with inline responses. I'm still testing these scenarios
- You should always check whether the script did a good job and click "Full text" otherwise
Version history:
- 1.1.1
By minifrij. jQuery has been removed
- 1.1
It now works when quoting from 'Show the last posts of this person.' or a PM (more info) - 1.0:
Initial release
I'll keep testing and improving it. Let me know your comments or any bugs you find.[/list]
