Update to the quote feature

This is a quick update about a feature change that has just been released.

Following the re-platforming we had quite a lot of feedback about the new version of the quote feature.

To prevent the quotes being very long when there are multiple quotes we will now only show the latest message and then you can click 'show quote history' to read the previous messages that were quoted.

We've also tweaked the design to make it clearer who wrote each message in the quote and when they posted.

Hope you like the change!

Pleased to hear you like the update!

@Judashascomeintosomemoney it is live now on the website - you'll only see it where there are quotes that quote another post. If you're using the app it's not possible to quote a post that contains another quote yet so you won't see it there.

When is this launching? (Just tried it, it’s not taken effect yet)

Glad you did this. Saves me from having to start a thread begging posters to please, for the love of god, stop quoting entire conversations! So fed up of having to scroll past the same thing 14 bloody times before I can get to the new post!

Good, some threads had become completely unreadable with so many stacked quotes.

Excellent update, thank you.

That sounds good.

That sounds much better. Thanks @KatyMumsnet!
