Official News Minimised Quotes

[Admin 14,370]

One of the comments on the feedback survey was about how long quotes can make pages particularly long and difficult to read, especially in the Pictures section.

Whilst there has always been the option to highlight specific parts of a post and just quote that, clearly this was not always used.

I have now set it to that only the first few lines of a quote will display, but with an option of 'read more' to open the quote in full. 

Hopefully this will work better, but let me know if you run into any issues with this.

Thanks.

And here is an example of what I'm talking about.

This site just keeps getting better and better! Thank you

This should have been applied to all previous threads, so by all means check out the Pictures section now to (hopefully) see it in action. It should hopefully reduce the impression of seeing the same picture multiple times (because it is being quoted). Of course, you still have the option to expand the quote if you want to see the original post in full.

This is excellent, thank you. I try to edit as I go, but this helps a lot.

Does this copy the thread again? Or does it just internally link to the old one? (thinking storage)

Thanks, should just be internally linking to the old one. 🙂
