My neighbour's optician's cousin works in IT and said it's uber simple to amend.

Save all of our heads, please.

Yes, please.

Agreed! If you just want to reply to one or two lines, copy and paste is what you need. Maybe this isn't easy on all phones but I have a basic Android model and I can do it. Super easy on a laptop.

It's the same posters every time. Makes me want to scream. I'm on the app but just read the bloody OP then reply.

But you can see the OP at the top of every page

I can't on my app

Agreed. Every time I'm on mumsnet I want to start a thread saying this. I only haven't because I expected too many people to find it hilarious to quote my OP in their comment.

I wish we had the option to cut out irrelevant bits of the quote like on other sites - no need to quote paragraphs when you only want to reference one specific line in your reply. I just type the line out instead but that’s sort of going against the point of having the quotation option!

I like to see the op. I have some cognitive issues currently and it helps me process what the reply means

Agreed!

It would also be lovely if we could quote just one paragraph of a 6 paragraph post rather than the whole thing

Agreed! 😄

It's definitely useful for quoting other posts but I agree, people quoting the original post is ridiculous.

hopeishere · 15/05/2024 12:08

Agreed. It's so annoying particularly when it's the second message on the thread quoting the OP!!
