When people quote an OP, and the OP is large, or any other large quote, it can be quite annoying to scroll through. So… it would auto-collapse and you can click an arrow to make the entire quote show.

Support if optional (for the user, not the posts)

I think 4 lines is a bit too short- you can easily scroll past four lines without too much issue. I'd maybe put the limit at 10 for singular posts and six for quote chains.

Why not have it collapse quote chains of more than 3?
So if you had this:

a wrote:

b wrote:

c wrote:

d wrote:

e wrote:

<insert something clever here>

Agreed.

That's very clever.

As per this.

you'd instead see this:

a wrote:

b wrote:

c wrote:

As per this.

Maybe it should also tell you if it's been collapsed?

Support, if it's an option, as dude341 said.

But quotes aren't just used for quoting others you know. They can also be used in shops to separate sections. Also just imagine the Constructive Recommendations On How to Respond to and Make Suggestions! sticky if this was added.

Support if its optional, good idea. (agree with @dude341)

Yeah. But if its optional, then it may be okay for this to be implemented.

This is suggesting collapsing nested quotes - so using quotes like this:

wouldn't be a problem when separating sections.

Slightly different, actually. Similar, but not really the same suggestion on what should be collapsible, though both could be nice.

I suddenly feel like collapsing isn't necessary - just setting a maximum height and allowing overflow to scroll:

It should be longer than 4 lines, maybe something like 15 lines.

This suggestion actually helps that—it's just collapsing quotes, not removing them entirely.
If you want to view a section, you can just uncollapse it, and if you don't, it's easier to read past it.

No, maybe 10.

Support if it is optional because people with laggy os's are unable to see topics

support because it gets spammy really quickly

This seems like a small annoyance that can be a bit aggravating at times, but I don't really see it as a problem that requires a solution, and you can gently remind people to snip quotes. Also, it might get annoying to read a post if you have to scroll or open quotes or whatever instead of just reading. Semi-support

Support! Posts of people that quote the OP's are really annoying. There should be that feature.

I agree
