Quote facility?

GetOrfMoiRing ? (GOMMedal, perhaps, if it was O related!) unless it was some namechange for another reason some time ago...

Yes, I'd be another very happy to see a 'hide poster' option.

Gist woman gist, I want nothing to do with your gusts!

Arf.

I actually can't believe you got the gust of my comment.

How full would a thread be?

That's a really good point NotHoney. Could you imagine?!?!?!

Chaos

a quote facility combined with your phone would force me to hunt you down and hurt you.

Timed edit would be good. How long would you get? 5 minutes?

It would help with correcting spelling mistakes I feel compelled to explain in case people think I am illiterate.

And I would love a hide poster.

I don't think a quote facility is necessary, but could put up with a like button in order to get the edit and hide poster.

I would come around to the idea if we can also have a hide poster option and a timed edit function.

They all need to come at the same time. ::nods::

Because you get 1,000 nested quotes and a response of 'I agree'.

Copy and paste and use "s.

I agree

-----

I still agree, and what's more, it makes threads really confusing and practically unreadable

--------

I still agree also.

But yes: we had a Heated Debate a wee while back and most people violently agreed they didn't want a quote facility.

I see why, don't you?

I agree

Abso-fucking-lutely

I agree.

I actually quite like the idea.

I agree with others - I don't use other forums (I am NOT saying fora before anyone has a fit of the vapours) but when I have read them I find them very annoying as the world and his wife quotes within quotes and it makes the conversation stilted.

If you want to reference a bit of what someone has said, there is a kind of informal convention on MN that you just copy that bit and put it in bold or something. That works fine, I don't think anything else is needed or would enhance the Mumsnet Experience?.

The op I was talking to. Of we had a quote facility I could quote where she didn't use a quote, then when I asked why she didn't use a quote, then when you asked me who I was talking to about quotes. Then we would all know exactly where we were.

at all the cross-posts. Maybe we do need a quote facility!

Advanced search is really useful if you use it properly. I used to use it improperly and end up reading threads about why is my baby's poo green. Not that green poo isn't riveting but I was looking for a chicken casserole recipe.

Gawd knows!

Exactly, Show!!! So totally Christmas dinner around here!

Flouncy, why would I find that unpleasant to hear? In order for it to be unpleasant to hear I'd have to give a flying fuck what you, a stranger on a website, who I will never meet, thinks about me. Sorry if that's unpleasant to hear.

See? I did it again. Quoted you without a quote facility!! Go me!

Sorry, was that rude?

So why didn't you quote when you were replying to a post instead of addressing her by her name then?

You'd better join us on the naughty step too

Actually, I covet a glittery ticker, but they have no place here

Aww Tee. That's made me feel all festive and warm inside 873 elderly relatives, all on transmit, none on receive and lubricated by alcohol. It's exactly like a MN thread. Bunfights, misquotes, inebriation, er, flouncing.
