First crack at a new quote feature - please check it out

Hi all,
We've released a new quote feature (finally you might say). I've attached some screenshots to show you where it's housed on site. Please give it a go so we can check it's working ok for all and across devices. We've taken the decision not to include threading for now - both because it would have been a lot more dev time and because it can affect the flow of conversations but this is something we can revisit in time if folks prefer. Please do let us know what you think/ further improvements etc. Big thanks.

Whoever said mumsnet is too old to be the same as every other forum, most forums haven't changed since they began so mumsnet is no different

Yes I can!

@OneUsernameOnly

Ah is that what you mean by threading? Does that mean we can only quote the op? I am not sure what the point of that is
Can I quote somebody else?

oh, *@WorraLiberty*

That's interesting, the formatting messes up in the quote!

Formatting of what?
00100001 · 26/05/2020 18:10

Quote feature is great.

I personally hate threading so if this is introduced I would prefer it to be an option rather than a default.

Hi MrsWooster, it should in theory be restricted to single-level quotes. We'll check what's going on there as it seems someone has quoted a message with a quote.
that was me!! :o ...so proud!
Ouchjuststoodonlego · 26/05/2020 18:09

The point about snipping is very valid though.

Clymene · 26/05/2020 18:09

So I can quote a post but not where someone else has quoted someone. So if I wanted to reply to Pelleas's ooh for example, I couldn't quote that

00100001 · 26/05/2020 18:09

Err, i broke your quote feature..

[quote 00100001]@wowsaid - you have to consider that MN forum, is bespoke and ancient. so making changes isn't actually that easy.

Having said that, I believe they are working on a large overhaul of the site to modernise it.[/quote]
