Replying to posts with quoted text / member mention

[motorknut]

Hi

I’m new to the forum, and trying to figure out the features.

I’ve tried to reply to posts clicking the “ button to the right of the posters name, but the reply text box just shows up blank. I can’t figure what I’m doing wrong.

Also, how would I mention a members name in my post,?

Thanks!

Click on the “ white box top right of the light grey box. No idea on the members names though, I just type them

Hi, thanks. That’s the exact button I clicked but the text box came up blank. After I clocked 3 posts, the feature seemed to start working!

Not sure about a pc but with my iPhone I can highlight a section of text and then quote it in a reply

Although it does seem to misquote who wrote it!

It’s a forum feature then. I think.

After 3 posts you can do more things on the forum. I think it’s to stop spammers

Well I gave up trying for while as it ended on the end of the person I was replying to. So I tried removing it and got into even more mess it looked as if I was messing with members posts

Yup, I think you pretty much have it there.

I would add that I think there is a limit on the number of cascaded, quotes within quotes. Not sure how many. Keep requoting this and we should find out soon enough though.

Edit: I note the first quote has gone. So that cascade limit is 4.
