2. Selectively quoting is better than quoting the entire post in the reply, especially if you only want to say "Thanks"
to a non existent problem.
Yeah, I've noticed that and it's not helping. Not sure why people are doing it when it's easy to select the relevant text and click the "Reply" button that pops up under the selected text? I've been doing this solely on Android so far and it works fine. I'd expect that it's even easier on a PC where you have the mouse for doing the selection.Users are already using air quotes as an alternative so now it looks even messier than the collapsed full reply
And you have not had to edit posts where users insert their comments inside the quoted posts. I think I can still manage to mess that up.

Anyway, not a big problem and probably not one at all for most users.
Ah got it. Thanks.Presumed it was within the toolkit in the reply box.Not sure why people are doing it when it's easy to select the relevant text and click the "Reply" button that pops up

To write within the quotes, you have to click the closed brackets to turn on the code as far as I can see.
Maybe you had to do that the old way as well, but it was frequently done.

If you want to quote a selection of a post, highlight it, and hit the "Reply" button.
I confess to not reading it properly as was uup to my neck in it yesterday and only paid peripheral attention Brendan.I don't understand. Why was this not clear from my original post?
I just thought that highlighting text in a post and clicking reply would quote the selected text in the message composition box where the cursor is currently placed and not always at the end. Now that I know that it does the latter I can work with that.I don't understand your issue?
If you want to quote a few different bits of a post, they you can do so.
Highlight the first piece, and hit reply.
Hightlight the second piece, and hit reply. It come aferwards
Put the cursor at the end of the first quote and press enter and you can reply1. Who is God?
2. God is our father in Heaven and Creator and Lord of all things. If you put the cursor at the end of bit you want to quote and start typing, it will be in the bit quoted.
3. Where is God?
4. God is everywhere but his head.
Exactly the same way of making that mistake in Android now as it was before.You have to do so deliberately whereas in the past it was accidental.
I never knew how to have multiple quotes before, so there is an advantage (or else the controversy caused a clear explanation to be posted).Heaven
