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.

I can only quote the OP not the other posts
ContessaferJones · 26/05/2020 17:23

Confused now (it doesn't take much) Grin

I am on an Android phone and found it a bit hard to see the quote bit in my post...

OneUsernameOnly · 26/05/2020 17:24

Ah is that what you mean by threading? Does that mean we can only quote the op? I am not sure what the point of that is

MrsWooster · 26/05/2020 17:24

The 'quoting the quote and the original quote' thing is going to lead to threading... ungainly?

ContessaferJones · 26/05/2020 17:25

I can't seem to quote a quote post on my phone. Good thing really, it would all get a bit infinite

No option to quote on app on iPad

Oh gosh! It works! I can quote someone else, but I'm laptop, not my phone, if that makes a difference.

How very exciting!
Tech · 26/05/2020 17:27

Hi MrsWooster, it should in theory be restricted to single-level quotes. We'll check what's going on there as it seems someone has quoted a message with a quote.

Ooo I like it

Better late than never I suppose. Maybe you could also add a click link at the top of the thread that allows you to see all the OPs comments only on that thread? We have that on another site and is very useful.

Giving it s go.
AdalindMeisner · 26/05/2020 17:33

Can you quote a small section - for example a couple of sentences you wish to highlight or is it the whole thing? Which inth9bk would be frustrating if the message is long.

That would be a useful function.
