I have really wanted a feature like this for a long time now as I regularly quote multiple posts in a single post. I had actually made an RFC about this myself a while ago :>

This is almost what I meant by a JavaScript API, I'd love to work on an SDK for PHP and JS, once this is implemented.

Auth can be done via tokens and secrets, in the ACP, an admin can allow/deny an application requesting API access. Just like any other API service, the user needs to be auth'ed ...

What about using OAuth to authorize users in 3rd party apps? That way the user wouldn't need to give away their passwords but can give a temporal/limited token. This is much like the Twitter API does.

Scenario
A debate or long discussion is going on in a thread with multiple persons taking part, each quoting each others. At some point (rather fast in a debate) you will hit the "max nested quote" limit (default 3?) and you will not be able to post unless you remove a quote or two.

The problem ...

I like this idea. When a user is done editing and press the submit button, should the user be redirected to a page that confirms the edit, or would the textbox be replaced with the new post directly (and maybe some message about confirmation)?

Abstract

Further Description
I would like ...

There is a Quote button, but I would like to see a Multi-quote button as well. It would be useful when quoting multiple posts, obviously, which I often find myself doing in a phpBB forum. So instead of pressing the quote button on all the posts and copy/paste everything to a single postpage/field ...
