Emma_Acid Posted September 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I cannot get on with the new quoting system - if I quote someone and then decide against it, I can't delete their quote. If I try and quote someone else in the thread, their quote appears inside of the quote I am trying to get rid of. If I go away and then come back again, the quote is still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted September 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Three ways to remove an unwanted quote from your post: Hover over the quote - a small box with a cross in it will appear at the top left. Click on this, then hit "delete". You can also click on the quote directly ( a blue outline will appear ) and hit "delete" for the same effect. Hover over the quote then hold CTRL and right-click. A menu will appear - select "remove quote". Click on the empty line below the quote box and then hit "delete" a couple of times 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrLzs Posted September 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2016 A quick tip... the editor will sometimes not let you escape the quoted box (and thus lock up if you delete the quote!) if you don't leave any free lines above / below it. I've got into the habit of adding a couple of new lines below the quote before doing anything - this also allows you to drag the quote down or up more easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmk1245 Posted September 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Saru, can the thread (pinned) be made just to test new forum features? BTW, I still can't figure out why some links from YT do appear as link text line, and not vid box, not a big problem, just slight annoyance.
