It seems like the quote function ain't working properly
Anyone else find it hard to read posts with quotes?

Happened on my phone but deleting app and then reinstalling sorted it.

What I mean is when a user is quoting a post and does not hit return to start their own response on a new line.
It makes it difficult to follow.
On most forums you see what is quoted in a shaded ballon within the post to make it clear it is a quote.
Feasible to do something similar here?

Occasionally grey box doesn't appear for me as well but have put it down to operator error on my part, no idea what causes it ! Will take screen shot next time it happens, can be confusing as is just all one string of text.

when you click reply to a post, and to get it as it shows above, you will see it like this, screen shot below
Note the 2 quote brackets, occasionally if you start to type and do so too close or by accident delete the bracket quote then it wont show in the box, I have done it my self.
Also what sometimes confuses is when someone has quoted a longer post and when you see it, it appears to not all be there, but you need to click on it to see the full quote.

Good example on screen shot below of a full quote needing a bit more user action. Notice in feint writing at the bottom click to expand. Also if you notice the 'up arrow' next to the user name if you click that it takes you to the point in the thread where this post was originally.
