How the quote function works

I explained it here

How the quote function works

Not a bug, but the quote feature is a bit different. We'll end up with quoted quotes the way it is.

You could never delete a post once it was deleted?

Do you mean, that to "delete" a post before you posted it, you could just delete the text?

I mean there is no 'delete' button for me to delete the post. At the bottom of this post I have attach, Insert, post, preview, no delete anywhere.

You should never have had a delete button.

Sorry Bronte, I can't replicate your problem at all.

Test
Ok, now the button on the right is full yellow, all others, the BIU etc are soft. But I can highlight the quote and delete it. So that's progress at least.

What I now can't do is Bold, or do Control B.

And I still don't have a full Delete post button.

Test 2

Clean post no quote, not able to Bold. No problem highlighting and deleting.

That's what I was doing, my keyboard delete button does not work. Nor does Control B for bold, nor does highlighting and hitting the B button. Also separate to that there is no delete button to any post. I literally can not delete this post. But I can go with the back button and delete everything, slowly.

If you highlight the block of unwanted text and hit the back button it will remove the whole block rather than having to do it a letter at a time.

Bingo - that worked. But Burgess already had my delete button working again as long as I hit the yellow flower/wheel at the end of the options at the top of posts.

But now the BIU etc are faded/unusual, not that they were working for me anyway. I'll check out the ipad, maybe it will work there.

Bronte · 21 May 2019

I can now disable the flower/wheel and delete with the back button only. I can do smilies, and undo. But I can't B/I/U

test colour works
but not if I highlight and then hit the colour

Font
works for size, and
dggdggdggdggdggdgg
that was font family.

So progess of sorts.

Still missing delete button. of the entier post.

Hi Bronte

I missed this with the other issues.

How are you able to change the font and not underline it? They are all in the same toolbar

Type something
Then click on a word to highlight it
Then click on

What happens?

I see that Control and U works just as well.

Is this a separate issue? Users can't delete their posts and never could.
They can edit their content for up to 48 hours, I think. So you can highlight all the content and press delete and you will be left with a blank post.
