Can confirm that this works the same on the iPad:

select all

It's encouraging to see many forumers having obviously recognised/acknowledged the value of the <Quote> button for proper filing. Far less, however, seem to have read Dave's last post here. Hence, often the entire previous message is repeated. That's ...

1. not necessary - you see the proper order in threaded view automatically,
2. wasteful regarding bandwidth and reduces density of information.
   

What can be done to get users to do something which was automatically done in the old forum and made it a pleasure to read?

My last post in this thread was about a mechanism that people can use on tablets. (To do something that most people probably already know how to do on a larger computer.) It was not meant to suggest that it needed to be used any more or less than it currently is. I suspect at this point that most users are simply quoting at the level that they prefer.

Concur means to agree. The phrase you were looking for was more like: "And now I'd like to express something completely unrelated." I'll close this thread so you can start your thread on your opinion of people - but please start it on some other forum.
