What is the point of endless quotes when they become totally unreadable and the button to hide them is at the bottom meaning you need to scroll through a headache inducing mile of vertical lines?

Hi all,

First of all, apologies for the delay in coming back to this, and thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our survey and share your thoughts on quotes. We really do appreciate the feedback.

We've been looking into this off the back of what you've told us. We agree that the formatting of posts with multiple quotes needs improving, as it can be difficult to follow at the moment. Working out the best way to address it is a little more complex than it might seem at first glance.

We're actively exploring possible solutions and we'll update here as soon as we have any news to share.

Thanks again for your feedback and for your patience while we work through it.

Hi all,

We're still working on a fix for quote formatting, so thanks for bearing with us.

We've just released a change on web that should help make threads more scannable. Long posts will now be collapsed by default (including long posts within quotes), with a 'See more'/'See less' option to expand and collapse them.

We know this won't solve the original problem, but we hope it'll make things a bit easier in the meantime.

Let us know if you have any thoughts or feedback. We'll post here again as soon as we have an update on the formatting issues.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi @BabblingBiddy, @GetAFurqingCompass, @BIWI & @DappledThings,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and sorry that you're finding it annoying. We've just rolled back the change that collapses long posts while we increase the cut-off point, so you won't need to expand them as often.

We're still working on the 'hide quote history' part of this, as it's proving a bit more complicated than it first seemed. In the meantime, there's also been an improvement to the way quotes are displayed. When there are lots of nested quotes within a post, they should no longer be pushed off the screen on mobile and should be much easier to read.

Sorry if that was confusing @JaneJeffer. We've turned this feature off for now while we make some changes. When we bring it back, only much longer posts will be collapsed, so you won't need to tap 'See more' as often.

And we're super happy to hear that quotes are better for you now!

@GetAFurqingCompass We're also looking into adding an opt out setting.

Thanks again for all of the feedback. We'll post here once we have any updates.
