How to remove the @user and quotes in posts on mobile [SOLVED]

[Truth Addict]

I didn't find a sub forum that fits this thread, so I posted in the most active one.

Perhaps you want to bookmark this topic.

All tricks worked on Chrome and Opera.

1) @user(s):

Very simple.

You just need to type something in the previous line and next line, screenshot:

Then you select the line above or below the @user(s).

Then you take the selection to include the @user(s) and the other line (as shown in the screenshot).

A simple backspace, or cut, and poof, gone!

.................

2) Quote(s):

This one is kind of trickier, but still simple enough.

Removing quotation(s) requires at least one empty line before the quotation(s). This trick cannot work on quotes that are at the very top of the post.

Okay, so you quoted something and you want to remove it.

You just need to insert a text and a photo in the line above the quotation(s).

Then you select the text and include the photo and the quotation(s).

So, it's something like this:

A simple backspace, or cut, and poof, gone!

................. 

3) For both:

Insert an emoji before and after the @user or the quote, select them all, and remove.

.................

Or you can simply post your post and then hide it, no big deal ??

Thanks, I was wondering about this

Glad that was helpful, and frustrated that most members didn't even care to view the thread.

What if I enjoy getting frustrated and throwing my phone more than learning new technical skills? You didn't consider my feelings.

Can you pin it so it stays on top? So everyone can see it? I had some problems too posting from my phone. I think it's helpful.

@abrakamowse I can't pin it, only Leo and mods can pin topics, I guess.

You can bookmark it though ?

@Truth Addict  Thanks! It works perfectly!!! 

I found a way to do it without images. I inserted emojis at the beginning of the quotes or mentions and at the end. And it works too!!!

Great idea @Truth Addict !!!

Yeah that works too, I stumbled upon it before but I forgot about it.

Thank you, I'll add it to my OP.

Hi, 

I don't know if you can help me, but I have forgotten how to break apart a longgg quote to answer/reply/post to someone.

I get the quote on my post and I'm clueless???

@Anna1 Try using the multiquote option and selecting the same quote multiple times, then deleting the excess.

I've found this forum's formatted edit box to be one of the more convoluted and difficult forums to actually format correctly. Just give me [bracket] commands and I'm happy. D:
