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

yeppp...took me a few mins to figure that bit out... 

Is there any way of switching off the retention of the last reply  Dland ?   just asking :)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

What mouse ?

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?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
