Update to the quote feature

[KatyMumsnet]

This is a quick update about a feature change that has just been released.

Following the re-platforming we had quite a lot of feedback about the new version of the quote feature.

To prevent the quotes being very long when there are multiple quotes we will now only show the latest message and then you can click 'show quote history' to read the previous messages that were quoted.

We've also tweaked the design to make it clearer who wrote each message in the quote and when they posted.

Hope you like the change!

That sounds much better. Thanks @KatyMumsnet!

That sounds good.

Excellent update, thank you.

Good, some threads had become completely unreadable with so many stacked quotes.

Glad you did this. Saves me from having to start a thread begging posters to please, for the love of god, stop quoting entire conversations! So fed up of having to scroll past the same thing 14 bloody times before I can get to the new post!

When is this launching? (Just tried it, it’s not taken effect yet)

Pleased to hear you like the update!

@Judashascomeintosomemoney it is live now on the website - you'll only see it where there are quotes that quote another post. If you're using the app it's not possible to quote a post that contains another quote yet so you won't see it there.

Let's test shall we?

And again

Ooh. Funky!

@TeenDivided thanks for that! You can see it now at the bottom of the quote.

I've seen it already on a thread and it looks good 👍

When will this be possible? I use the app as I find it easiest to read. I feel disadvantaged not being able to properly see the quoted quotes

@KatyMumsnet is there anyway to stop the 'I'm on' also bring saved in the 'watching' bit as my 'watching' gets filled with the duplicates from 'I'm on'. (Android app) many thanks

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

@MistyRock do you mean the threads you've watched and posted on are appearing in both lists? I'll check but for now, can you possibly unwatch the threads you're on?

@MistyRock I've just been reliably informed that the default setting when you post on threads is to automatically watch them so they show in both lists - you can change that on here so when you post it isn't automatically added to your watch list.

Can I add my thanks and appreciation for this.

Now if only deleted threads weren't disappearing off my watched and I'm on lists.....

quoting to test :-)

quoting 2 to test

Thanks. I'll try to sort it.

@Rogue1001MNer That is coming soon!

Thank you. It worked! 🎉

Excellent. Thank you.

Good idea. I’d personally prefer the quotes the other way (oldest at the top) and all above but I’ll get used to it.
