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.

Please no like button! We're not teenagers! Instagram/facebook et al calls if you want that...or that other "lovely site" people keep talking about. I hear they have all the fancy buttons. We like old school with new-old features, let's dare to remain different Grin

Awww but sometimes someone writes a post and you want to cheer (or throw tomatoes).

Like this you mean?
Pelleas · 26/05/2020 18:43

Aw, and I can't even replicate your Tardis, Binary, because it quotes a quote. Sad

Testing the emojis is very important.

@00100001

oh, *@WorraLiberty*

That's interesting, the formatting messes up in the quote!

Good spot! I hadn't noticed that.

Has it worked?

I feel v ungrateful but a snip button would be great! Surely we can trust people not to conveniently edit quoted posts.... right?! I didn't particularly want to quote Lordfrontpaw but just had to quote something to try it out!!
Lordfrontpaw · 26/05/2020 18:57

Oi - I'm bloody Shakespeare you know! Very quote-worthy...

Shantotto · 26/05/2020 19:00

It’s completely mad you can’t quote a post that already has a quote in it! Surely you just quote the response? Every forum I’ve ever used works that way! It still makes it a million times easier to follow who is replying to who etc.

MortyFide · 26/05/2020 19:04

@Tech

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.
Seems to work for a mid-thread post?

NRTFT so forgive me if I've missed anything vital :-)

I'm on a laptop on some old explorer version. Works fine, but you do need to be able to just quote a bit not the whole lot. Otherwise it won't really be useful.

Is this going to be released to everyone or just premium? And when will it be rolled out?
