I'm finding it difficult to follow threads where people quote one another constantly. So, two posters start bickering and quoting one another and then messages contain 5/10/20 embedded messages. Makes threads unreadable.

Hi all
Just to say - we have seen this and appreciate the feedback. We'll have a chat about it.

Morning, everyone! Some good news - we've designed a fix for this now that we think is a good compromise and hopefully will keep everyone happy - we're just waiting for a developer to be available to build it. We've got a few slightly more urgent technical issues to get sorted first, but this is very much on The List and should be done soon.
What we're going to do is make it so that the most recent quoted post appears in the preview, but then you'll be able to click to expand and collapse the whole 'chain' of quoted posts. So those who want to read the whole thing can do so and those who don't will just see the last quoted post in the chain along with the post in reply. That should mean less scrolling for the majority but the option to read the whole chain remains.

Hi @JaneJeffer . Not sure if you're talking about the update in general or this quote feature. Re the quoting, this is something Mumsnetters had been asking for for some time. We can see that not everyone is a fan but hopefully this is a compromise that works for everyone. With regards to the update as a whole, it really was necessary as the site had been becoming very creaky indeed. Obviously there have been a few teething issues, but we're working through them in order of urgency and making improvements wherever we can see the space to do that - we really think you'll start to see improvements soon. It should be short-term pain for very long term gain in terms of usability.
