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.

Looks alright - can’t quote from posts that have a quote in itself, and can’t cut the quote, which is a real snag. It’s rare you’d ever quote a whole post, you’d just quote a line or two. I don’t see myself using the feature if it has to be the whole post every time

@Tech

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.
It would be nice if the quotation could be date/time stamped. If someone has included a quotation then their post doesn't have the quote button. Is it meant to be like that? Also, I don't always want to quote someone's whole post, maybe just a section, but that doesn't seem possible with this.

@BoneAppleTeaa

Can’t think of many times I’d want to quote the whole post, but can’t seem to see how to quote only a section of it unfortunately.
But this ^ is an excellent idea too

@JustineMumsnet will everyone get to use this or once you have tested it will it only be available for Premium?

Also just to say it's not on the App at the moment, with apols, but it will be coming in the next few weeks.

@HopeYouStepOnALego

Better late than never I suppose. Maybe you could also add a click link at the top of the thread that allows you to see all the OPs comments only on that thread? We have that on another site and is very useful.
That would be a useful function.
AdalindMeisner · 26/05/2020 17:33

Can you quote a small section - for example a couple of sentences you wish to highlight or is it the whole thing? Which inth9bk would be frustrating if the message is long.

Confused now (it doesn't take much) Grin

I am on an Android phone and found it a bit hard to see the quote bit in my post...

Testing on my Android.

@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
Oh gosh! It works! I can quote someone else, but I'm laptop, not my phone, if that makes a difference.

No option to quote on app on iPad

ContessaferJones · 26/05/2020 17:25

I can't seem to quote a quote post on my phone. Good thing really, it would all get a bit infinite

MrsWooster · 26/05/2020 17:24

The 'quoting the quote and the original quote' thing is going to lead to threading... ungainly?
