I've been down this path, and it's frustrating and leads nowhere.

-wraith808

To nowhere - the grivitiniks in default smf format are leading,
in quotes' headers after moving the original posts to other topics
                         in result of splitting or merging -
without a Freedom of Moving Thoughts embedded feature.

That is what a Frustration for Space Humans,
modifying the quotes code manually over the planet
during years of slow Evolution.. or Degradation.

Please organize your forum members on a campaign
for unlimited own posts editing time on simplemachines forum -

otherwise Humans do experience the predicaments
          in requesting the mods development,

including the Ignore User Button mod
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?msg=2407112

in part of adding of the option
to Ignore the posts of not ignored members
          with the quotes of the ignored members' posts
          and/or just with quotes
          with global grivitoutiks in short format.

Compare with the positioning behaviour
on a desktop with the windows version
lower than on your Laptop.
