Hi @Applejack
Weird question.
If I quote text from a message in different thread, select the text do a quote copy to a different place, like a txt file because I’m doing a big message (like a mixtape Monday) and then copy it over to another thread. It is not “collapsible”. So there is no “first few lines, and an arrow to click on to see the remainder of the quote. Example:

@DeSade-acolyte

It’s interesting that for all the camp humor of Batman’66, Frank Gorshin’s Riddler might be the most malevolent Riddler of the 20th century, and still one of the most malevolent versions of the character to date. There are few interpretations of the Riddler where the concept of Batman’s death brings out such sheer, manic glee bordering on the nearly orgasmic.

It is that sense of intensity that makes Gorshin’s portrayal still the best, IMO of all versions of the character either live action or animated. John Austin was fun, and Jim Carrey had a comedic element but neither came close to the true sense of villainy that Gorshin brought to the role.

I think it really shows the Riddlers’s ability to be just as strong a Batman villain as the Joker, if given the opportunity.

Is there some extra special or hidden html I’m missing. The text from the original quote is identical. I even tried changing the “full:true” to “full:false” I get the arrow but still only showing all of the quote.

I’ve played around just now, but the best I can come up with is truncating the text within the [quote] html in order to shorten it and drive the member to a whole new topic; which is clearly not the goal.

To clarify, do you want a member to be able to click the comment inside of the existing thread and expand right within that chain? Almost like the “Hide Details” function?

I can run this by the experts and see if they have a quick solution other than “false”.
