Delete forum post/respond with partial quote

[Semper Sitientum]

Is there a way to delete a forum post is you are the originator? I went to the edit function but did not see this feature.

Also, is there a way to include a partial quote from another post in your response rather than the entire original post? I tried to highlight part of a quote and a “reply” icon appears, but it copies and displays in a raw form as if you are posting this text.

Can't delete posts, unfortunately. You can edit them to say "double post" if you'd like.

You can also edit the quote. You can remove anything you want as long as the QUOTE]...[/QUOTE remains intact. There should be a start bracket [ and end bracket ] there but then it turns it into a quote lol good code bot!

Or just a dot, as I see you did. We know what that means...

I can delete any post if needed

I remember we used to be able to delete posts.
I really can't see why it's not part of the forum functions.
Sometimes we post things and realise afterwards that that post wasn't needed or out of place then can't remove it.

Even if just limited (as with editing) for just several minutes.

If you highlight some text, a separate reply button appears. Click that instead of the main reply button.

That's going to be on your Permanent Record young man!

I tried that but it didn’t work for me. I’ll try again.

I highlighted and clicked the “reply” button below the text. It just disappeared.

Are you doing this on a computer with a mouse or a smart phone or tablet and touching it with your finger? Just trying to think of possible explanations for the different behavior. Also try clicking around the edges of the reply button. I frequently have that problem with the bell icon on the top of the page. If I click the center of the bell, nothing happens. But if I click the right edge, I get a list of posts.

Hmmm. I have to click twice. The first time makes the highlighting disappear, the second one actually creates the new reply message.

Don, that worked with a slight modification. I highlighted the text, reply button appeared. Then, I clicked on the highlight, which disappeared, but the reply button remained. Clicked on the reply button and it created a new message.

Sorry for the second post. Forgot to mention I’m using an iPad.

you can also use the bbc code editor top right of the editor for more control and remove formatting for cache and pasting problems
