IPS 4.1Nested Quotes

Featured Replies

Has the nested quotes feature been removed in 4.1?

I have been searching the ACP and cannot find it

 

I also noticed that was not being able to do nested quotes and I can't find the option in acp.

Was it removed? 

@Charles Can you tell us if it was removed? Just to know if im crazy or not ,)

Someone?

My members have found that nested quotes are working on mobile but not through the desktop. Can't find any relevant settings in ACP. Can someone from IP clear this up?

The nested quotes have been problematic right back to the 3.x days.

In 4.0, there was the option to allow them, but there were various problems with them. We had a lot of bug reports saying that they weren't working right, leading to blank posts and sometimes broken posts.

We looked at various options but they never fully solved the problem.

In 4.1, we have removed that option. Now when you quote a post that contains a quote, that quote is removed. However, you can still manually nest quotes if you were so inclined.

Sometimes we have to make a decision to ensure the product's stability and we never want to leave a feature in that we know does not work correctly and causes you and your members problems.

Thanks for the explanation @Matt

My site never had the issue you described in 4.0, but it is good to know that if others did have the problem it has been removed

Sorry to dig up an old post here @Matt but is there a way i can manually add this ability back? I never suffered from any bugs or problems, if you are unable to provide a solution would you be able to point me in the right direction to do this so i can attempt to play around with this.

@The.Reaper

Not sure how relevant that is but thanks. @BomAle
