Hi!
Discourse is widely used on the Internet.
I sometimes cross-post quotes from one to another, using the quote button instead of copy-pasting directly from the topic to keep the username and keep some content well-displayed.
Example, this post: 20" Mini Hatchet - Unicycles and Equipment - Unicyclist.com
If I copy-paste directly from the topic, starting from the ever beginning of the message until " is already riding around on one", like this:
Pasting the content into another Discourse forum renders the content like this:
Ok, how the hell did I miss this? Have we discussed it already somewhere?
As far as I can tell this is the the old 20" Nimbus Purple monster unicycle but now with a cute 
, downsized Hatchet-style frame. That does however mean it has cotterless cranks rather than ISIS and no brakes nor a straightforward way to add them (though brakes on a 20", even with a fat tyre like this, is perhaps an overkill anyway 
).
Despite being relatively low spec, that Hatchet style (in mini form) still looks great and since it is pretty cheap, I am sort of tempted anyway. I had already looked at the 20" monster before as a fun little thing.
I see that it is not avilable until October on UDC UK

What can you do with a monstrous 20 x 4 inch tyre? Well, you can ride over just about anything like: deep snow, trails, sandy beaches and gravel tracks! The possibilities are endless. Not recommended for extreme trials.
Price: GBP 220
But the US website already has it. Indeed one of the guys I follow on Strava (Paolo Unitoonist ) is already riding around on one
If I use the quote button and copy-paste the generate quote, it looks like this:
It’s better, though clicking the username doesn’t do anything. The onebox’s content isn’t badly pasted, and we have the username at the top of the quote/
I suggest adding the forum’s URL in the quote syntax, so clicking the username would lead to the message on the original external topic.
Current generated quote syntax:
[quote="ruari, post:1, topic:278023"]
Proposed syntax:
[quote="ruari, post:1, topic:278023, url:https://unicyclist.com"]
This data would be enough to append the topic and posts’ ID to the URL. Clicking the username (or something else next to it) would then link to https://unicyclist.com/t/278023/1.
Overall, it would make quotes from one Discourse to another more seamless and integrated, without adding something like “source: 20" Mini Hatchet - Unicycles and Equipment - Unicyclist.com” additionally.
What do you think about that? All opinions welcome
