Quoting another post - can we still do it?

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.

I get notified for mentions, just not when I'm quoted which always seemed an oversight as you're literally dragged into a conversation when quoted. Otherwise it was just notifications for threads you're watching or AIBU polls.

Well I still can't quote on the app. So that's a pain!

I'm loving it. 😁

Seriously though, it's going to be nice to not have to keep scrolling back through pages to see the reply to the post that someone's replying to.

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.

Aha. Thank you so much. So easy but I missed it.

Space is infinite

This might be infinity and beyond 😀

Aw, no this hasn't stopped has it. I want to see it through until it's just a post of lines, or whatever happens. Come on curious people, let's see what happens...

For goodness sake with the childishness. You're just demonstrating why MN didn't want to do nested quotes. Next thing we know, they'll remove the option.

LizBennet · 24/04/2022 09:06

Or just exercise your right to act like an adult and don't respond to threads you don't wish to?

IncompleteSenten · 24/04/2022 09:21

Oh behave yourself
This is one thread, specifically about the quote function. People are having a bit of fun.

The great thing about being a grown up is you get to choose when it's ok to be a bit daft. When it is not hurting anyone and is trivial.

Mnhq are not going to remove the quote function because a few mners are playing about on one thread for heaven's sake.

Better stop, our new toy will get taken away due to our childish behaviour. I feel thoroughly chastised 😂

Just popping this one in the right place... 😁
