RMweb Gold Corbs Posted February 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) A curious thing, as previously images (when quoted) would appear as a URL, now they are all loading as images. Unless I've accidentally enabled this myself, was this an intentional change? The downside is it means a lot more scrolling as sometimes people prefer to quote posts rather than replying, especially in busy threads.

ejstubbs Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I'm pretty sure that this used to happen with the old version of the forum software as well. Or did it change for the better when the new version was implemented, and now seems to have gone back to the old functionality? Posts which quote all of the post being responded to - and especially when the quote includes photos - simply to provide a comment which cannot easily be referenced back to the relevant part of the original post are a routine irritant (and not only on this forum). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AY Mod Posted February 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2020 It's down to me testing things which affect loading. Logically you would say that this would increase the loading but I'm trying to reduce the number of scripts running to build pages. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to quote selected parts of a post, as I've done above, without it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted February 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Not as easy to do on a phone though. Not impossible, just need to be more dexterous. Edited February 11, 2020 by Stubby47 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I see if you highlight a piece of text you get a little black box with 'quote selected' in it, clicking on that puts it in the reply box.
