THANK YOU

Agreed. I sometimes want to see the past thread, but most of the time don't. The perfect solution. I can expand the previous comments if I want, but when I'm reading on a phone, I don't have to spend my entire lunch break scrolling to the next comment.

YES. Was coming to comment on this as well. SO MUCH BETTER. Sometimes one page would be taken up by 2 people quoting each other non-stop to bicker. This is so much easier to read.

Not a fan. Easier for me to show earlier quotes right away, so I don’t spend time trying to interpret a post only to find it doesn’t make sense truncated.

OK, if you call this a vote. Really, I think the change is a bad idea. The reader ought to see what the poster chose to post. If a thread consists of post after post of cascading quotes, that in itself tells the reader something about the thread and the care, or lack thereof, that has gone into it. The change also reduces the incentive to put together a nicely composed post with proper use of quotes and perhaps bolding, because it'll be squashed down into a single quote that may not stand by itself.

There are actually four threads about the collapse quotes feature and, as far as I remember, you are the first and only naysayer. So, it's not so much that this is a vote, but that your opinion is an outlier.

For what it's worth, I agree. It's hard to follow threads this way.
