Often when I hit the "Reply to this topic" my previous reply appears in the box and cannot be fully deleted. I have had to post then delete. Then start agin, the next time is ok.

I have found this happen with me as well. The only solution I have come up with, as you have, is post it, then quickly delete to start afresh.

Previously, there was no problem editing, deleting a quoted post.

You can delete the quote you just need to click in the text box just under the quote and press backspace. For some reason it doesn't delete then so you have to repeat the process. Click in the text box just under the quote and press backspace. The quote should be deleted

The first time you click in the text box and click backspace it tries to delete the contents of the quote. The second time allows you to delete the whole quote.

I'll have to look into switching off the retention of the last reply.

It's only keeping replies if you start to post something and then don't. I think. It's there as a an auto-save measure so you don't lose a post you were writing.

There are pros and cons to it. As long as you hit submit reply or delete the post before you move on it won't be there the next time you visit that thread.

Also this is the way the system is designed. It is not doing anything it's not supposed to do. It's not a bug. It is auto saving your post for you. If you don't post or clear it before you leave the page it will be there for you the next time.

Is there a colour selection available to admin to change the font colour of the text displayed for posts of ignored users?  (It's currently a slightly darker grey on grey background).

Change to black if possible, maybe?

As I don't ignore anyone I was not aware of this. I will change it as soon as I find the setting. It should be customizable.

agree that is the way it is supposed to work

also agree that it is a nice feature. it has saved me remembering and retyping a number of times (due to various reasons)

however.....i think some people a saying that sometimes it's not working as designed

i know i have had a few strange things happen (and i've cleared my cache since the new version)

clearing cache, reloading browser or even rebooting are all things to try 

p.s. all my experience is just with a win7 pc and chrome browser

The difficulty in deleting quotes is definitely and without a doubt a bug.  It's 100% reproduceable for me under Chrome - happens every single time - and quite annoying.

The auto-retaining of posts in general is a feature, and a handy one.

Fixed. Can you please confirm? Unless you are ignoring me and can't see this post.

You can also use the mouse to highlight the entire quote and hit delete.

That doesn't work for me at all.  All the text goes from the quotes, but the quote boxes remain.  Doesn't matter how many times I try.  The only thing that works is the backspace trick you described before.  I can also hit the 'source' button on the top-left and delete everything in there, but I think that's only an option for admin level accounts.

There is a way to delete the quote box on mobile. I'm just trying to replicate it so that it works the first time every time. If you press your finger on the quote box, not sure where you have to do it at the moment, a little box appears above the top left corner. Once that box appears click it and the hit backspace.

Ok got it. Click on the text in the middle of the quote. The box/square will appear in the top left corner. Click the box/square and hit backspace on the keyboard.

I guess it gives you the option to put your mouse in the quote box and delete/edit the text in there or click the square in the top corner to delete the quoted box entirely.

Not sure what's cumbersome about that.

on a pc.

on a mobile you simply use your finger to click on the text of the quote box and it will create a blue square outline around the text in the quote box as well as the square appear in the top left corner above the quote box. you can then either edit the text within the quote box or click the square in the top left and delete the quote box by hitting back space.

Mobile touchscreens are inherently cumbersome adding extra steps to what you can do with a mouse.

This is not a limitation of the forum software.

Often i have to read other peoples replies before giving consideration to my own.

Is there a "monologue" feature where i can just delete answers I dislike and carry on like i know everything there is to know on any given subject?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
