Does anyone know if it's possible?

Looks like mine is switched off

It used to so that on old platform.

I'm an artist

Pretty in a liney sort of way.

Are you supposed to scroll up and down the lines to see who has written each quoted post? Confused

See? I said people were enjoying playing with their new toy. Smile

I love the nested quotes! Lots of us have wanted this feature for ages. It makes things much easier to follow on long threads where there's a few different conversations going on.

Your definition of easier to follow is clearly not the same as mine Grin

When it gets to the extreme of one word per line and you haveto keep scrolling up and down to see who posted what it's the very opposite of easy to follow imo

If you s roll fast enough it's like one of those flick books!

anotherneutralname · 24/04/2022 09:18

Definitely Team HATE for nested quotes.

It just works, doesn't it?

Does it stop when the lines reach the right hand side, or when the post is down to one letter wide? 🤔

I currently have to scroll both sideways and vertically to read the threads.

Would possibly have been more useful to have a partial quote system...

And now the text is escaping the grey box :D

That would have been my choice as well.

I also preferred the boxed quotation with the name above. I know that's cosmetic, I just don't like the lines much — your eye jumps straight to them because they're vertical unlike the rest of the text.

TooManyPJs · 25/04/2022 01:06

I really like the quotes - makes it so much easier/quicker to both tag someone and respond to their specific post in a thread without having to faff about copy pasting. Also makes it easier to read a thread when people are responding to each other you can easily see what post they are replying to. I won't read an AMA thread where the OP hasn't used quotes, too annoying!

RoyKentsChestHair · 25/04/2022 01:28

Yes much easier to follow now Grin

Happily it doesn't work on the app. Binary's posts appear standalone.

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

There is still room on the right of the box for me 😄

Actually, it is all one grey box now (with lines)

I'll keep going 🤓

ImAvingOops · 25/04/2022 07:38

My whole phone screen is just grey lines now Grin

IncompleteSenten · 25/04/2022 07:40

I'm getting to like it.
It's certainly easier than scrolling back and forward through god knows how many pages to be able to follow what two people are arguing about on a massive thread. 😁

JeSuisFattyGay · 25/04/2022 09:26

Nah, it's shit.

At least it ought to be optional.

megletthesecond · 25/04/2022 09:32

All I can see are lines now 😵.

The excessive nesting option is annoying. I'll stick to old style copy and pasting parts of posts.

JaneJeffer · 25/04/2022 10:07

It's going to get confusing if the app users can't see it and won't know someone is referring to their post.
