Please stop doing this for the love of god it clogs up the whole thread and then the thread ends up being a fight between two people that requires endless scrolling. Surely just tag the person or copy their last comment; not the whole 20 post discourse?!?! Giving me the rage

See I hate it when you get a post like:

@Hawkins001 i quite agree.

I’m not scrolling back through an entire thread to see what people are agreeing with. Bloody quote or copy and paste the relevant bit if you want.

Agreed!

Mine (tablet) seems to just be getting longer boxes now that it's down to individual words.
hopefully they have a whizbang solution for the extraneous boxes and lines.

Some nice examples of how ridiculous it gets. Grin

Much prefer copying in bold or italics
its much easier on the eye and is obvious who you’re quoting to those who are reading the thread.

It makes a pretty patterned effect if you scroll through quickly.

Well cheers @Zoom101 I scrolled REALLY quickly & then felt motion sick.
Still waiting for the initial post to thin down into single letters ...
