I don't understand how I had selected to receive new post notifications, I have switched them back off. o.O

It needs to be easier to select a partial quote.

Sometimes when a long post is quoted, the opening sentence or the final line is all that is required, sometime not even that.

I know some members had difficulty because they deleted a square  bracket or some such but I usually fixed it when that happened.

 I dont think this will work But it does!

Just click inside the grey quoted text box and select text to delete.
There is a little problem if you are familiar with UBB codes and want to put responses in the quote!  See above

:hair::hair:  I can't figure how to modify a quote.  :hair: :hair: :hair: :hair: :hair: :hair: It was easy when you could see the HTML code. :hair:

And for some reason you horse seems to think this text editor window is a stable??? :lol: :devil: :devil: :devil:

Look at the editor toolbar - 5 sections from the left and there is  a grey page icon - it is a view source button so you CAN see the code....
I'll muck out the $table .....

OR  select the bit of the post you want to quote and copy it to the clipboard, select the insert quote button on the toolbar which opens a grey box and just paste your quote in there - it won't say who said it but I am sure you can just type that as part of your reply as below said by  Robert....

Nah, I've done years of mucking out each day! Another benefit of keeping her in Italy - someone else gets to do it, though she spends most of her time out in the fields.

I have looked at the Ndslr 'theme' and don't see any characteristics which I would find useful.  It means going to a dropdown menu to access what is plainly visible in the current 'Recent Posts' page.  Effectively it doubles the operations needed to achieve a given task, pointless in my book, plus you have to remember which menu and which function.

On the left hand side of the menu bar - next to the Ndslr button there is an icon that looks like a list - it is the recent topics button, so only one click - then you will have the green arrows that seem to work in there.....:hair:

Chris one thing that I'm finding annoying is when I go to the bird photography thread , it always takes me to page 1 , I.e Graham's original post , I then have to click on the arrows to go to the last page , then scroll down to the latest post . Can this be fixed to go directly to either latest post or last unread as in other forums

If you click on the last post arrow in the last post column of the topic you want to go to - it takes you direct to the fiirst unread post in the topic - if you haven't been to the topic before it will take you to the first post.
