Since the switch, I can't see how to quote another post. It's not an option. I know we can cut and paste but just wondered if the option is hidden somewhere I haven't spotted yet.

3 dots right hand corner of the post that you want to quote. And you can now quote quoted posts.

and quote quoted quoted posts.

You can quote infinitely I think.

FleeceNavidadfromtheSheep · 21/04/2022 18:01

Yes you can. Swipe left on the app.

FleeceNavidadfromtheSheep · 21/04/2022 18:01

Oh! I definitely did it! What's gone wrong?

FleeceNavidadfromtheSheep · 21/04/2022 18:02

Trying again.

FleeceNavidadfromtheSheep · 21/04/2022 18:02

Yeh, no!

ParentalAdvisoryExplicitContent · 21/04/2022 18:07

Hopefully I'm quoting you OP

ParentalAdvisoryExplicitContent · 21/04/2022 18:07

Gah no!!

ParentalAdvisoryExplicitContent · 21/04/2022 18:08

@MNHQ what's with the quote function? It was working earlier 😂

What did you do? 😂

Still working for me.

FleeceNavidadfromtheSheep · 21/04/2022 18:08

😂 at all the quote fails.

toastofthetown · 21/04/2022 18:08

Do we get notified if we're quoted yet?

ParentalAdvisoryExplicitContent · 21/04/2022 18:09

I'm using the app, it's a swipe left and click 'quote' .. It does it and then when it posts the quoted post has disappeared 😂

That would be interesting!

I'm not on the app so maybe that's the difference

ParentalAdvisoryExplicitContent · 21/04/2022 18:13

So quotes are still working on the site? Just not on the app then!
