Temporary solution to the quoting issue

A lot of people have been having issues with the quote feature, where it remembers a previous quote and you can't get rid of it in your next post. I think Andy said this isn't a bug, but a feature that allows you to come back to an unfinished post and complete it later.

Unfortunately it has the effect of leaving quotes in when you don't want them.

There's an easy way to 'clear' the history of a post before you start a new one to avoid it.

Before you start a new post, if there's a legacy quote in there you don't want, click the 'source' button in the post editing tools. Highlight everything in there and delete it. This will delete all the legacy code from your previously saved post, letting you start fresh.

    you can get rid of it

    above the quote you will see a small box with arrows. drag this anywhere into the quote (it won't move just the cursor moves), press delete......bingo gone

    however, it is more than just the "feature". sometimes it is broke. yesterday i quoted in a thread, and my reply got posted correctly. later i the same thread i went to post without a quote and my previous quote was still there. i double checked to see that it had posted previously and yep it had. this is intermittent

    I don't see the arrows, even when hovering. I have to use the source button to remove :(

    it is a square box with a cross in it just above the top left hand corner of the quote, the ends of the cross are tiny arrow heads. you only see it if your cursor is in the quote

    i use a pc not a mobile. maybe it doesn't show on a mobile?

    Andy knows about it, I just thought this tip might help while it's being sorted out.

    Another tip is use the "multi quote" button but then just reply to the 1 post.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
