Update to the quote feature

32 replies

KatyMumsnet · 13/07/2022 12:07

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!

ApolloandDaphne · 13/07/2022 12:31

That sounds good.

GCAcademic · 13/07/2022 13:47

Excellent update, thank you.

EspeciallyDeIighted · 13/07/2022 14:08

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

ImAvingOops · 13/07/2022 14:12

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!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 13/07/2022 14:17

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

KatyMumsnet · 13/07/2022 14:21

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

TeenDivided · 13/07/2022 14:23

And again

Ooh. Funky!

KatyMumsnet · 13/07/2022 14:24

@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

gamerchick · 13/07/2022 14:30

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 13/07/2022 15:22

@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?

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 13/07/2022 15:41

@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.

Rogue1001MNer · 13/07/2022 15:41

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.....

Thanks. I'll try to sort it.

Thank you. It worked! 🎉

BoreOfWhabylon · 13/07/2022 18:22

Excellent. Thank you.

CPandme · 13/07/2022 18:32

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.
