Quote history

MNHQ, can you try to revisit or change the way quote history works please.

Once post after post gets re-quoted it’s an utter mess.

A simple solution would be to put the hide quote history at the top of the first quote, and not at the very bottom
that way someone opening the quote history, when seeing the never ending quotes collapse into…

nonsense, they can decide for it to be hidden away and continue to the next post.

It’s completely unreadable and takes a zillion years to scroll through.

Ideally you should have a space, then a bold horizontal line (not vertical) then named boxes for each quote in the chain.

@MNHQ this doable?

Quote history is brilliant on the Samsung app, let's you look at the last 3 which I find so useful

Guess there’s going to be differences on the app and perhaps which phone you’re on.

But like a lot of other users I’m on iPhone using the website and have zero inclination to change either; generally as a site it’s pretty well coded and laid out otherwise.

But this one thing is a dogs dinner.
