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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
