They're two different things.

1. Set the level of quoted posts to 2 <---- Not impacted by anything you can do with the settings
2. Show scroll bars if it's a long quote. <---- You can turn the scroll bars off

1. I don't see any way to control all the nesting levels to keep it like it used to be. Alex's comment in the "scroll bars" thread implies you can keep the setup like it used to be. But that's not true.

And even if YOU (I) want to see all the nested levels, if one of the quoted posters [member] in the nested area didn't want to show more than 2, I doubt YOU (I) could then show what had been hidden DELETED.


2. There's nothing that recognizes "long" quotes. It nests (and optionally scrolls) ALL posts. See my example a few posts above. It doesn't matter to me if the quote is "+1" or a whole page. The problem is that the deepest level of text is no longer shown. Sometimes there are important points made in each level of quotes.

My beef is more about the content not being displayed rather than scroll or not.

That is right, nested quotes deeper than two levels are no longer shown in a reply post. However, a deeper level can be accessed by clicking on the uparrow character at the top of a quote to open the post the reply was to.

To reply to more than two levels of quotes you can either (1) write multiple replies with each one quoting one other post with important points or (2) write a single reply with quotes from multiple posts with important points.
