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.

In true binary fashion...it will be broken or it won't be.

SoupDragon? Is that really you?

It is indeed. :) I see they've had to drag you out of the cupboard and dust you down. Are the youngsters not up to it?

I would have "quoted" you properly but you quoted me first. Dammit.

Tech · 27/05/2020 18:06

Haha, the youngsters are a good bunch - they can run rings round me and my ageing brain. I'm just helping out a bit. I do however reserve the right to look at stuff and shake my head saying "Nah this is all wrong. It'll have to come out" in the style of a visiting plumber.

OMG - OriginalTech! I thought we'd driven you away years ago! Grin
BoreOfWhabylon · 27/05/2020 18:15

Is that Original @Tech? How lovely!

Can we expect to see @OliviaMumsnet and @HelenMumsnet turning up to do a bit of modding too? Grin

ClassicCola · 27/05/2020 18:22

Are you the Tech that lived in the shed?

Hello Tech Smile

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/05/2020 18:39

Me too Perdita Sad

I do think though that if someone posted a spoiler on the wrong board she'd suddenly apparate Grin

Peakypolly · 27/05/2020 18:40

@OneUsernameOnly

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

CrocodileFrock · 27/05/2020 18:49

Is that Tech who was let out of the shed and escaped to New York or somewhere? Shock

I remember you as being one of the young whippersnappers!

now I feel old... Grin

Testing on iPad.
JacobReesMogadishu · 27/05/2020 22:51

I can quote any post apart from a post which Includes a quote in it.

Lol, read the OP...and the dozens of identical posts
LaChatte · 28/05/2020 07:06

@00100001

I don't like people.
Can you make up posts? What does this look like? In the app I can't see quotes, it's just all code.
LaChatte · 28/05/2020 07:09

(Just showing hopefully what quotes look like on my app, I would post a screenshot but it crashes every time I try to post a picture)

Ohh took me an embarrassing 5 minutes to learn how but I think I’ve got it now. Looks really good too.
