‘Quoting the Op’

2 replies

Please, please, please Mumsnet, stop posters quoting the original post.
At the very least on the first page of responses (preferably first 100).
I know it’s stupidly easy to quote other posts accidentally now, irritates the hell out of me the number of times I hit ‘Quote’ when scrolling down and find myself at the bottom of the page, losing my place, but please can MNHQ stop the Op’s post appearing multiple times, often in the the first few replies.
TIA

Morning, everyone. We've had a lot of feedback about this and can see it's causing a fair amount of irritation.

The good news is we think we have a solution. It's going to take a little time to implement so won't be immediate but it is on its way! We'll update on Site Stuff as soon as we have any more info we can share with you.

Morning, everyone!

Quick update - we have a solution now.

To improve thread readability, quotes of the Original Post will show only the first two lines by default. If a user has quoted the OP in their post, you will see the following on the thread:

‘Show more’ - if a user clicks this it will expand to display the full quote.
Then...
‘Show less’ - the user can then click this to collapse the quote back to two lines again.

This will keep threads cleaner and easier to follow, we hope, and it will be up to users if they want to read the whole quote again as a reminder or not.

It's not quite ready to implement yet but will be here very soon (no exact date, we're afraid but we thought you'd like to know that it's in train and what to expect when it arrives).
