Yeah, I've noticed that too. It's even more confusing if the post you quote quoted two posts.

I hadn't thought of that.

Would you really have put that past them? Everything they do seems like a social experiment in making the users hate the site but not enough to actually leave it.

Nested quotes and highlight-to-quote will no longer be supported as it's now much simpler to edit quotes as well as to quote sections of multiple previous posts.

apparently

I think the idea is that they want you to use the clickable quote headers instead. you can then traverse an entire quoting sequence without having it fill up every post in the chain.

The quote box also looks weird when you edit your post with a quote, I think.

Haha. I literally mentioned this the first day it happened. Everyone seemed ok with it. I nest the quotes I want to, anyway. So, whatever. Its a dumb change, though...

or you could just not have to click at all. creating clicks and hiding necessary info behind clicks is not good UX design

Yeah its been like this for a little while now. They clearly dont like people piling quotes on top of each other.

but atleast theyve fixed the part where we can now highlight text and only quote that highlight. Ive been waiting for that for years now

Impressive. Except if you had known what you were looking for, you would've seen it written on my dorm room window

Nevermind, it comes out fine, but it still looks a little off before editing.
After trying it out, I guess I'm wrong about this too. But I remember doing this once, and the quote box had the user name inside the quote box instead of above. Oh well.

There was a problem with it? I never had any issues with it, been doing it for years, I believe.

I agree that the quote popups don't seem very usable. quotes within quotes should probably be something like collapsed tree nodes, similar to media links. (I don't think clicking is the issue necessarily; it's the disconnect between the quote and the popup, and the popup and the rest of the page. it's hard to follow what you're looking at and why and it takes you away from the page you were looking at.)

It was hit or miss on mobile. Sometimes, it worked. And other times, no dice... Now it just works mobile. But that was more recent. Losing bested quotes was a few weeks back. The highlight quotes was like within the last week or two, I believe...

Id say it was 85% miss and 15% hit on mobile before a couple weeks ago. (And Im being generous). It was frustratingly bad

Yeah. It definitely was. And the hit rate was low for me. I barely got it. Its good now, though.
