Quotes troubleshooting

@divine_o , to insert multiple quotes I use the select-and-quote feature. Using the “Quote” button instead cleans up the editor and inserts the quote of a whole post.
I guess, you can’t mix both.

all subsequent quote blocks erase my post

other people do it successfully

It also helps to do some line breaks first, because it’s difficult to set the cursor around quotes. I always do some more of those line breaks first, only then position my cursor on the wanted position before I finally fetch the next quote from another post.

When quoting from different threads I have to copy and paste conventionally, then select the quote and use the menu bar to format it as a quotation.

I must be dense or somthing; I don't see the select-and-quote feature you're referring to.

I don't see the select-and-quote feature

Look:
That result above you get using the function below by selecting some text, only thus making the button """ appear, you then can click on to add the selected text to your post.

Using my phone, after one select and quote, I can no longer select anything else on the page. There is definitely a bug and I don’t know if it is just my phone/browser. I will try again on my computer later but I think I had the exact same problem.

@sowithoutaneros thank you, I appreciate it.

Using my phone

Is your phone's operating system Android or iOS?

@divine_o

Works fine on desktop with Edge but I have the same problem as you on Android, I just don't quote when using my phone, too much of an hassle.

ok yeah I confirm it worked on my laptop and it doesn’t on my iphone 7s. I will stick to simple quotes on my phone as I did before, and when I need to really get into the nitty gritty I’ll pull out the laptop.
