KathieB Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 A suggestion regarding forum housekeeping: I've noticed recently that there have been a number of posts in various forums that include multiple or extremely large photos. And the responses to the post also contain the photo or photos, which isn't really necessary, is it? Not much point in taking up excess bandwidth when the original image is easily available, never mind the necessity of scrolling past all those images several times when following the thread. When quoting a post with images, click on the image to highlight it and hit delete. The image will be gone but the text of the original message will remain. <hanging up the dustpan and bench brush now> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Thanks for this, Colleen. I knew about the "Quote this" option when highlighting text, but not the resizing option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Not sure why my quote was used as an example (without giving me credit for it) but I use a cell phone and don’t have all of the editing tools available on a computer. Bandwidth is never a problem on a cell so I was unaware that this was an issue. Kathie, thanks for pointing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 @Sable I think she was just using it as a visual example......nice short statement to highlight etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1martinimomma Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 @Sable, sorry to have upset you. It was just a random generic post I used as an example. Nothing particular was posted I thought you needed to be quoted on. I am hiding the post since you are upset by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Im not upset, guess I’m just pointing out that by highlighting a quote it doesn’t name the person who wrote it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highlighted the above words in your post and the resulting quote named you as the author Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I can’t replicate what you did on a cell. She must have zapped out the top banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I wonder if the quote feature works differently on different devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal way doesn’t but it seems martinimamma’s way does matter based on the device. She deleted the post so the instruction on how to do it on a computer is gone.
