How to remove quotes from a reply?

[againstthegrain]

I have started a reply w a quote of another post and then decided I don't want the quote - how do I edit it out? I've removed 1 or 2 by clicking on the quote button, but I have some stubborn ones I can't remove using that method. Nor have I found a way to delete the reply and begin anew. Thanks.

Go back to your post with the quotes .. click edit ... highlight everything, and right click CUT ... and start again.

Click edit below your reply. Then move the cursor to the unwanted quote, highlight the unwanted part, and delete it. Remember to click save.

You can't delete sn entire post. Best you can do is delte a postd'scontent, then type a couple of commas, and save that.

Hope that helps.

I haven't posted this reply to the thread, but can't get rid of the quotes. I can delete the text but not the box.

So I deleted the text and hit reply and the box disappeared. Thanks!

That's how I do it; highlight everything, then hit delete.

It wasn't readily apparent that the box would disappear which would have left the screen name visible. I wonder if the browser(Brave) I'm using interferes w the quote removal function?

if you put your mouse over the quote marks (second on right at top) click it once .... takes quotes away.

By the way, you can type reply to a post, but if you never post it on the board, it will just disappear over time.

I'm just not seeing it.......my first senior moment!!!

You have 48 posts ... just maybe the functions for everything aren't available until you have more posts ... ???? Dunno
Sorry for the confusion.

Probably my browser. No problem got it worked out. Thanks.

I usually use the backspace key to get rid of it.
