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.

@Shantotto

It’s completely mad you can’t quote a post that already has a quote in it! Surely you just quote the response? Every forum I’ve ever used works that way! It still makes it a million times easier to follow who is replying to who etc.
Just trying it out.

( actually I am relieved to have discovered where all the little grey boxes were coming from, I though it was people being techie clever clogs, but lo and behold I can make little green boxes too)

Please join in if you remember this one

Little boxes
On a web site
And they're all made
Out of ticky tacky
Little boxes
On the hillside
And they all look just the same

Lachatte - try a quote without your username in it

eg "I have special powers"

Managed it, though can't read your screenshots as they are too blurred when I zoom in, so just guessed.
00100001 · 28/05/2020 07:56

LaChatte, can you make another fake quote? S we can see if it's you or that one post?

00100001 · 28/05/2020 07:53

LaChatte's post is haunted!

Thank God I've got to start working now, otherwise I'd be messing about with this all morning.

I have no idea what I just did, it still all looks like code to me, apart from the s screenshot.

sanityisamyth · 28/05/2020 07:45

Why can't you quote using the app. An option to swipe next to the post would be helpful
