In the text entry box a new button [inset quotes] appears. Hit that and select the quotes.

See there? I just tried to do what I wanted by while editing the post above, specifically by placing the cursor within post #520 (which I was editing) where I wanted the portion of @ChristineM’s text from her post #519 to appear, then trying to highlight said text from post #519, and then use the “Reply” feature to “edit in” the desired quotation Al section of text for my edited-in reply. However, the new quotation by Christine (found above) to which I wanted to reply appeared here in this post #521 as part of a new post, rather than in the post #520 above, as I wished. I think that the problem lies in the fact that the cursor is removed from a post you are editing if you try to highlight text within a post by another member, to which you would like to make additional reply.

Highlight the text you want to quote. A small popup appears with [quote/reply]

I dint know of this.
Useful.

Something like that. If, however, you have made and submitted a post, and then decide that you should speak/reply to another point made by the same member to whom you have replied, and want to do so within the same post (as opposed to making a second post to accomplish that), then you seem not to be able to “edit in” a new “Member X said:” box so that the point to which you are replying is clarified. Do you see what I mean? That would be a helpful functionality to have at one’s disposal.

Ahh, like see what you mean. Thanks got the clarification

It might prove a useful functionality at times, but I don’t know if it is feasible from a programming standpoint.

Hey - weird random error:

When I'm using the WYSIWIG editor (not sure if that's what you call it - the editor mode where BBCode isn't visible, anyhow), I can split a quote by hitting return a few times in the middle of the quote (neat feature, BTW).

But the error is this: when I try to type between the two quote blocks, the forum software will sometimes, but not consistently, insert random letters into the quote block a few lines above where I'm typing.

This is in the mobile interface on an Android phone, in case that matters.

Is that a life's goal of hers?
Sounds achievable.

It's a brit saying, maybe it's not used in the US

It is a phrase used here too, but not as often . That is because with all of our healthcare woes dentistry is still a thing here.

Egg sucking isn't a thing here.
I've never known anyone who does it.

Not a fix, but an easy workaround:

Create the quote you want as if making a new post, select all text, cut, then click edit and now you can paste the quote into the edited post.

I thought I tried that and it failed by not presenting the edited-in quote within a “quotational box”, but I’ll give it another go as occasion permits.

The Media feature still isn't working in the Religions Q&A forum and won't embed YouTube videos.

Does RF allow multiple user names?

Does RF allow multiple user names?

Yes, at least in sequence. You can change your name.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Just asked. No intention to change my nick.

I'm not sure what you're asking, @Aupmanyav.

If you're asking if members can have more than one account, then no.

It taking an age to post a comment.

I'm not sure what you're asking, @Aupmanyav.

If you're asking if members can have more than one account, then no.

That is why I am asking. Why should it take 3 clicks for me to log in?
The software already knows that I am Aupmanyav. Why should it ask me if it can show me other 'log ins'. I have just one.
It could be a one click affair. Click 'log in' and one is logged in.
Of course, there may be other technical reasons that I may not know of.

Happens to me every now and then, mostly in the morning. But it isn't consistent.
