Does anyone know if it's possible?

No. I don't think it's possible. Unless you manually cope and paste the one quote you want to respond to.

JeSuisFattyGay · 23/04/2022 17:50

@MurmuratingStarling Gah, but thank you. I just can't understand the posts where there are millions of people quoting other people, and so give up trying with those threads. Which is most of them.

@justinemumsnet Please could you make it possibly to switch this particularly irritating feature off?

It would be useful if it just quoted the last post in the chain, not all the nested quoted bits.

BertieBotts · 23/04/2022 17:55

Just hide AIBU and then you never have to see it because people don't use it most everywhere else.

I don't think you can do it (have nested quotes) in the app.

However, MN still haven't fixed the problem when you quote & it just adds the new comment onto the quoted part, often leaving parts out.

With the double spaced quotes it means you have to scroll down 5 times to read a post.

JeSuisFattyGay · 23/04/2022 17:58

Thanks all. I don't have the app (only have a desktop). It's a bugger!

COPE and paste = COPY and paste .(Dopeypants me!)🙄

Yeah same! If there are more than 3 people/3 posts quoted - I am like 😫

ImAvingOops · 23/04/2022 18:18

I miss the olden days when people just copied and pasted the part of the post that was particularly relevant to their own comment.
Threads full of quoted posts that everyone has already read are really annoying.
While we're here, I miss the automatic capitalisation of the letter following a full stop.

BertieBotts · 23/04/2022 18:47

Me too, Oops. And I miss using nicknames like this, instead we all have to "at" each other like we're on Twitter or somethingHmm

BertieBotts · 23/04/2022 18:48

If you're reading the posts fully, then there's no need of a quote system in the first place.

TeenPlusCat · 23/04/2022 18:53

I think multi level quoting will die down once we all stop enjoying our new toy, you have to give things a chance to bed in sometimes.

FlibbertyGiblets · 23/04/2022 18:59

Bertie I still use old skool nicknames, all not lost yet!

Let's see how far we can quote quotes and how quickly it fails ...
