What quote button? 😉

No it's really very simple.

Don't think so 🙂

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 12px;">What quote button? 😉</span>

Click the inverted comma icon and then type the text. Then press return twice.

It seems to work for me.

Copy text, paste, highlight the text, use the "eraser" button, second from the right to clear the formatting, then with the text still highlighted, press the quote button.

At least on iPad.

type or past text then click the quote button

Copy text.

Click quote button - the one that looks like quotation marks

Paste text.

Click Clear formatting button - the one that looks like a rubber

Press return to go down the page until the text no longer indents.

Quote quoted

WTF happened to the font size in the quoted text? It's like everyone is shouting!!!

"WTF happened to the font size in the quoted text? It’s like everyone is shouting!!!"

I'm counting the massive font size as a fail.

Hahahahaahha that went well !

Copy text, paste, highlight the text, use the “eraser” button, second from the right to clear the formatting, then with the text still highlighted, press the quote button.

I just copy>past>click inverted comma symbol>return twice.  No need to highlight text

Font size can't be changed, its part of the formatting.

Hahahahaahha that went well !

To insert images:

Click on this:

Then this little thing pops up - find the link in your photo site that ends with .png .jpeg.

Paste it in.

If you then click away (eg in the description box as I've done below), then the dimensions pop up.

Click OK and then submit your post.

It's called a unique feature.

Copy text, paste, highlight the text,

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 16px; background-color: #eeeeee;">Copy text, paste, highlight the text,</span>

I hope the Mods understand in a day or two when i click to unsubscribe.... it's bloody garbage.

i need to highlight and remove the formatting with the "eraser" button.

As I said, on iPad running Opera.

Ah, all works but on my android I DO need to click the eraser tab to rid it of formatting.

Copy text, paste, highlight the text, use the “eraser” button, second from the right to clear the formatting, then with the text still highlighted, press the quote button.<b></b><i></i><u></u>

nope

There is a preview button you know 🙂

yeah....

not very intuitive having to use a clear formatting button to get a quote, but hey ho, I know now so this thread has served its purpose.

thanks

nope

It's just quite frankly, well.... pathetic.

If a large majority of the userbase can't even quote a message, then what hope do we have really...

I'm far from thick, i tried the same thing 3 times and got varied levels of failure.

Rubbish

RUBBISH

No need to highlight text

what? don't complicate things now!

Let's test it then.

<span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Helvetica',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 14.4px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Copy text, paste, highlight the text, use the “eraser” button, second from the right to clear the formatting, then with the text still highlighted, press the quote button.</span>

What quote button? 😉

Now how to do videos?

yep a preview button and a submit button.

the quotes button, the rubber button and anything else is just lies.

Will not let me paste on android

Are you testing the 'preview' button or the 'oops I've done a double post' button?

But the preview button shows the post without all of the HTML code, then you submit and it all comes back again, like magic.

The method I just described isn't reliable though. Trailwagger had bold, italics and underline code in there that I didn't use.

Also autocorrect isn't picking up everything either. Odd.

This is what I see:

I take it there should be some buttons for quoting/editing ?

Huzzah.

I'm sure I have seen people quoting without the text size/font changing. So presumably they are not using the clear formatting button. Anyone know how that works?

What are these options in this image!? I see no options on any of my browsers...

I hope the Mods understand in a day or two when i click to unsubscribe…. it’s bloody garbage.

I'm feeling the same way trying to post a video.

You have to click on the flashing cursor at the left hand side of the text box, not just anywhere in the box.

Useful to have a testing area for all to try things out, but that wasn't the original idea of the thread.

Perhaps the forum Admin or Mods could create a sticky How to - Idiots guide.

Click quote button – the one that looks like quotation marks

I take it the web version is being deprecated then as none of this stuff appears on it.

Firefox, Chrome and Edge tried.

I get the same thing as Allthepies, i.e no buttons, on PC, iPad or Android phone!

Perhaps the forum Admin or Mods could create a sticky How to – Idiots guide.

Given there seem to be several different methods going around maybe  getting it down to one then posting...

Hell I'm still waiting to see what is being called a bug or a feature 😉

Oh and I get all the buttons on Chrome PC but no useful indication of what you have selected or what has been selected

This is what I see

me too, I only have raw text input

testing, testing, 1,2,3

I see no buttons. Is this because of my obscure rarely-used platform (iPad with latest Safari on latest iOS)? 🙄 Apart from the preview button, which doesn’t do anything.

Glad to see I can post smilies from the keyboard though 👍

I’m beginning to wonder if you encounter the same issues in real life.

The quote is the “66” ^^ as in when taught at school “99/66” means quote.

And the small mountain scene in picture frame is quests what? A picture insert.. There are some small button when you have inserted the URL that allow editing before posting, and you should see a “ghost image” of what you are about to post.. also you can change the size of the image via the scale, just manually edit the size.

And the forums still going through its transition phase, so expect more “issues” to arise...

There is a preview button you know

It doesn’t work.

I also don’t see any formatting buttons, on any browser.

I can add tags though, which is good. EDIT hmmm...

Not being funny one bit here but serious, this here new forum is a complete biatch of a puzzle.

I'm holding out for one more day or so on an update then creating a petition to get our old but reasonably stable forum back. ;d

Now how to do videos?

This.

I think its good, and don't think I am complaining in any way. I just think some guidance would be good.

If thats the case then I suspect that the JavaScript isn't being loaded for you. When you click the preview button it will append your reply as the last reply and be highlighted in a pale yellow. (So the preview is just above the editor box)

on second thoughts......

I think its good, and don’t think I am complaining in any way. I just think some guidance would be good.

I think it's a piece of junk. Why wasn't it tested first?

Anyhow, it seems you can actually post an image, but you can't then go back and edit it. Or something. Who knows.

EDIT: and what's with the giant font size for quoted text?

videos? Just post each frame individually and scroll fast

JUNGLE!

Massive, innit.

Weeksy -

I hope the Mods understand in a day or two when i click to unsubscribe…

Not sure you understand what Mods do/are...

There is no quote button, nor is there a button for uploading images or videos, or even formatting text. Oh, and the preview button doesn't work.

"me too, I only have raw text input"

Same hear, on chrome with android phone. Just a box to type into. There's a preview tab a box for tags and submit, thats all I have.

What about emojis?

I don’t have the bar either and the preview button does not work. Do any of the mods know why some people are seeing this while others aren’t. Singletrack forum isn’t run by wileyfox now is it?

At least the really useful "skip to top" button still works..

Singletrack forum isn’t run by wileyfox now is it?

More like Wile E. Coyote.

I miss the Forum Activity feature. Hopefully the gremlins will soon be ironed out because it is putting me right off coming on here.

I can't see any buttons. Why is this?
