Quoting issue

What's Hot
JetfireJetfire Frets: 1583
in Help & Feedback
SO when using my phone (Android using Chrome) and my pc (Windoze 10 with Chrome), quoting can be a massive ballache. 
 
Process: 

1.  Click Quote on the post you wish to quote
2.  click in the box to reply
3.  the cursor goes into the grey quoted text
4.  It stays in there for ever and never comes out meaning you reply like a n00b. 
5. Cry.

    Tap the Enter/new line button a few times, then go back to the top of the text box, then click Quote. Go to the bottom of the text box (ie one of the new lines)...job jobbed.

    Happens to me lot. On a good day I'll type what I want with space above then add the quote. The back delete thing is a particular PIA because you think you're doing alright and then whammo stuck in quotes forever.
    If I also quote then decide against it I can delete the content but not the quote box. Not a big issue just looks a bit random. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    If you do stuff it up, just click the "code" button at the right of the toolbar - </> - and type some shit after the </blockquote> bit.

    if you want to be super clever type <p>Some shit</p> or <br>Some shit then switch out of the code view and replace "Some shit" with what you wanted to put there.

    Unfortunately the code button isn't there on mobile, which is where the problem occurs.

    A second quoting problem occurs when modmins decide that quoted controversial text copy should be deleted. This approach destroys non-controversial responses at the same time. (Sledgehammer, nut. Baby, bath water.) There must be a better way but it probably takes more time than anyone is willing to expend on it.
    Be seeing you.

    If it’s not an on topic thread then it not going to get a lot of attention.

    What are you talking about?

    There has never been an example where a post was deleted and on-topic discussion was removed. When we remove a post, we examine every place it was quoted and make a judgement call as to whether it's worth including for the good of the discussion at hand, or whether it was just carrying on the argument that led to the comment that caused the problem in the first place.

    We actually spend a hell of a lot of time on this, which is pretty much the opposite of what you're saying.
