No it's really very simple.

Don't think so 🙂

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.

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.

"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.
