What happened to the Private Messages

[Tabbikat2219]

Okay all of a sudden I now when i hit reply to private message I have to write in the original message what happened to it coming up blank and being able to click view history

It's been doing that to me since last week

 

[swim2sea]

Me too, I'm really getting tired of deleting all that so I can write a message. I think it happened during the upgrade/update thingy.

I kind of like it since most of the time I add the previous message so I dont get lost in the conversation.

MODERATORS Can you please fix this ???

 

[Bricklayer]

You will have to be patient, as our resident tech Cicada has not looked into it yet. It should not be seen as a feature that needs to be fixed, but rather a feature that should be able to be toggled on/off, as it seems many DPF'ers do enjoy the auto-quote feature.

For now, the only way around this auto-quote feature is to highlight - delete all of it, as swim2sea mentioned, or scroll all the way down past the auto-quote, then start your message. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I like it as well . . . .I just scroll down and then start typing. I never have enough space to be able to keep all of the messages and use the view history feature :0)

 

[Tabbikat2219]

ugh i hate it takes to much time to scroll down and it is hell to try and see what was said before

 

[SimbaNala]

I'm not a fan of it either, but hey, relax and let go It could be worse

Personally, I like having the quotation already in there, but I can understand why others don't.

 

[Cicada]

so i searched everywhere if there is any way a user can toggle it, or even in the options as well as poking around the code.

short answer: no built-in way to turn this off -- hopefully the devs will address it in the future.

for now, the "quickest" way to just remove all of hte previous PM quotes is to just click in the quick reply box, hit Ctrl+A (or command+A if you're an apple person) and start typing; that'll erase everything.
