Quoting

Completed
Nelly
Allow us to quote other messages, and optionally quotes in general. It would look something like this: http://i.imgur.com/7Lbn6Bw.png And it would build off of the basic Markdown used by Discord: > hey > imagine if we could quote people on discord > -- @Somebody, Wednesday, August 3rd, 2016 10:03:10 PM Optionally, if the quote links to an actual existing message, you could click on it to highlight it, like message pinning.

    Hey guys, I really want this feature as much as you do. I am adding a repeated thread so we can upvote that one too, I did the same with this one and I am sharing in other social media to bring attention to this feature.

    I was thinking it would be great to be able to answer not only to text messages, but also to videos and images. It happens a lot when sharing more than one image, that you want to discuss one of them, but it is the top one and then you add your comment but it show at the bottom, which means that others will think that you commented the last photo instead of the first one.

    I don't support being able to write it out manually, because you could fake a quote and make people think someone said something they didn't. However, message links exist now, and I think this would work very nicely with that. Even if it simply embedded the message under the link, that would be neat. But for the future, being able to simply right-click a message and quote it directly would be absolutely amazing.

    Good question, seems like discord is still sleeping about basic chat functionalities.

    Quoting would replace tagging in big servers, where there's a lot of messages being send at the same tune,

    Well, Discord-Matrix bridge allows quoting and it looks fine too! I just hope they implement it in the Discord client!

    +1. It’s awkward when you reference something that happened a while ago, this would definitely help!

    That's a perfect idea!! It really should be added.

    Quoting is very important and largely used in all forums. 

    Many times you want to answer a question that is sometimes old and you want to reference the original message.

    Currently you have to copy the message and manually insert the markdown.

    Please create an option to automatically insert the quotation with just one click.

    Old post but there is a way. In case anyone stumbles here:

    It works for other channels too.

    It would be a BIG improvement to our community on Discord and it is really one of the very few things, we actually miss since we migrated from Telegram!
