Truncate long quote histories

I keep meaning to ask for this! I use the quote history feature a lot - but it gets ridiculous after 10 quotes. Apart from the extremely long scrolling required, the earlier quotes reduce in width until there's just one letter per column, which makes them unreadable anyway.

Could you limit the full quotes to five or six? You could still put the username, date and time of preceding quotes so that over-invested pedants (me) can find them as needed.

Screenshot attached.

Hi @GarlicFound - thanks for asking about this. We're aware of this issue and it's something we're working on as we can see that multiple quoted posts rapidly become unreadable.

We can't give you a timeline at this stage, but a fix for this is definitely in the pipeline.
