Posts with multiple quotes feature testing

eBay Staff (Alumni)

We're excited to share with you something we've been developing - a new design for posts with multiple quotes. We've gotten some feedback from Community Mentors, and now want to get feedback from the broader Community so we've launched it here in the Community Platform Feedback board.

 

If there is more than one post being quoted in a reply, only the first quoted post will show, all of the earlier quoted posts will be available via a link on the post 'Click to see full quote.'

 

We've spent some time on this as a result of the poor experience when replies quoted multiple earlier quotes. 

 

After we've incorporated your feedback, we'll look to launch it to the entire Community.

 

Thanks!

Hi everyone! 


This is obviously not ready for prime time. (expands all the quotes when quoting, but hides ALL the quotes when viewing)

This is what you see when I reply to post #2, quoting labs who in turn was quoting doug.

 

As @berserkerplanet said: Not ready for prime time.

Is it possible that eBay staff are seeing this as intended ("If there is more than one post being quoted in a reply, only the first quoted post will show, all of the earlier quoted posts will be available via a link on the post 'Click to see full quote.'") although the rest of us aren't?  Here's what I see for my previous post, no trace of either of the previous quotes:

A little trick that I learned a couple of weeks ago from loveyourimagination...when you see a post that is "in reply to" but the poster doesn't use the quote feature so you have no idea what was said before, you can just click on the "in reply to xxxid" and you will automatically be taken to that post.  This was new to me so if you already knew about it, sorry! 

How much better life would be, if a liar's pants really did catch fire!

I didn't know about it, and I'm sure I will find it handy in the future, thanks. But I don't see what it has to do with the new quote feature that is the topic of this thread.

Hidy is still on topic.

 

If you read from beginning to end, starting with the OP’s post, you (general reply) don’t need to read the quotes over again.

It does need a little more work, but I’m happy not to see all the quotes.


Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

Test.

All I did was hit the Reply button.  I don't think there will the a link in it though.   Do I have to use the quote button?  Guess I will see.

Nope.  No link in my post above.  😞
