Can we please have the good old quotes back?
"I have the leadership abilities of a small canteloupe" and all the others. Perhaps even some new ones.
Could it be done on vBulletin? It would be nice to have them back.
Thanks.

I take it that you're refering to the quotes that popped up after you posted?
It would be great to have those back...

Yes.  We currently have a "Thanks for voting" message screen or something of the sort, so I guess the quotes could be easily put there.
