RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted October 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2020 I like the new feature whereby lengthy post quotes are reduced to just a few sentences with an expand option if you want to read it all. Nice touch. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice touch. So do I, but I often want to quote such long posts several times. Multiquote allows several posts to be quoted once. 'Quote' should be abolished as it allows the quoter to bypass any intermediate posts which may or may not be relevant to that which is being quoted. To my mind, remove the 'quote' button, leave the current multiquote icon to allow several posts to be quoted, but add a '*' button to add a quote more than once to the multiquote list. (Four separate quotes, press the '*' button 3 times, for example. Clicking it once will add 2 copies as the minimum; clicking it again will add a third, etc. Alternatively, click it once and it presents a counter [minimum 2] of how many repeats are required.)

Fair point! However, misuse of the 'quote' button can destroy thread continuity. (I'm five pages back from the end of the thread so I'll quote this post. Voila, 5 pages bypassed!) As an interim, why not kill the '+' multiquote button and transfer this functionality to the 'Quote' button? As the members get used to this, there opens an opportunity to add the '*' (quote multiple times) facility. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing me, I'm probably missing something! I've been back for a look now and it still looks like you can edit the text as you go before sending and, at least on my account, I can see the edit option from the three dots at the top right for editing after it's sent. I still seem to be able to delete PMs from the menu on the left. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejstubbs Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) 19 hours ago, D9020 Nimbus said: One minor-ish iPad issue (iPadOS 13.6) is that, in the past, if I tapped on the title of a topic with unread content it would take me to the first unread item; on a PC I'd have to click on the dot to the left of the title. It's now taking me to the first item, rather than the first unread item; I need to tap on the dot to go to the first unread item, which is rather tricky. On my iMac running Safari clicking on the topic title used to take me to the first unread posting well, but IIRC only if I was looking at the New Content list. Now the only way to see the first unread post, regardless of which list I'm looking at or which device I'm using, is to tap the dot next to the topic title. That's really quite difficult on a phone (Android/Chrome) with fattish fingers. I'd vote for "clicking on the topic title takes you first unread", if only on the New Content list i.e. other views could stay with the dot for unread content.
