Quoting cuts off comments

56 replies

Hi
Just noticed that using the quote function means that your comment (as well as part of the quoted comment), is cut off - so it just looks as though you quoted the comment but made no reply. I've seen it on other threads today and assumed people had pressed the quote function by accident but it's definitely a thing!

@Octoberfishing rapidly approaching a month since I started this thread and I'm sure I wasn't the first.

It's really really annoying now when trying to read a thread. Sort it out MN.

RosieCockle · 16/10/2022 23:57

It is really annoying

FinallyHere · 17/10/2022 00:07

Today I noticed that I can see the full comments when using a browser. It only happens on the app.

ButtOutBobsMum · 17/10/2022 07:05

It's madness that this is STILL an issue. It's been over a month and still no fix. The app is pretty much useless at the moment 😡

alspwjmas · 17/10/2022 07:12

Still happening all the time for me too

MeridasMum · 17/10/2022 17:37

It's getting ridiculous now, MN. Incredibly disappointing

alspwjmas · 17/10/2022 21:39

Still happening

CloudPop · 17/10/2022 22:20

This is really getting out of hand. If your tech team can't address this the please find some outside help. It's making the app really difficult to use

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 18/10/2022 11:32

Now it's cutting off the comments I have written. I hope you're not paying too much for this terrible development MN. 🤦🏻‍♀️

squarepegleg · 18/10/2022 11:32

Me too. It's been months!

RoachTheHorse · 18/10/2022 11:33

It's awful. I hate using the web browser on my phone as it's just no use either.

The app should work properly by now.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 18/10/2022 12:09

Hi all - sorry for the hassle but could you please share a screen shot of what you're seeing as we're unable to recreate it on our side?

Please also check that you're running the latest version of the app. Thank you.

Here is an example from the Liz Truss car crash threads. It doesn't happen every time

CloudPop · 18/10/2022 12:26

Here's another example, the first one gets cut off but the second doesn't

CloudPop · 18/10/2022 12:27

Sorry having trouble attaching a different photo to the first one !

CloudPop · 18/10/2022 12:28

Think this should work

This seems crazy that three weeks ago you were looking into it as a priority and now you can't recreate it?!

Octoberfishing · 18/10/2022 12:36

That said, I have just manually updated the app and (fingers crossed) it seems better.

I thought iPhones automatically updated apps?

I know, right!

RoachTheHorse · 18/10/2022 12:57

Ok. Looked at my updates and you released an update just today that mentions fixes including to quotes. I've done that and see how we fare.

But as that was only released today it would have been nice to be told it was coming.

RoachTheHorse · 18/10/2022 13:01

Ok. The update seems to have fixed it and I've checked back on an old thread I know I was missing content on and can see it now.

Thanks for sorting. Could I suggest better comms for any issues if this size in future?

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 18/10/2022 13:15

Yep. The update issued apparently 3 hours ago seems to have fixed it.

Thank you, but maybe a heads up on this thread that there was a brand new update would have been a good idea?

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 18/10/2022 16:21

Sincere apologies, folks - the fix was released this morning and we should have been clearer in our comms.

So just to reiterate - if you update the app today it should fix the quoting issue on the app.

squarepegleg · 19/10/2022 11:34

Fixed it for me. Thankyou Smile
