I keep seeing people managing to quote posts that contain a quote already. If that makes sense? How do you do this?
Also how do you do the crossing out thing?

Both have been annoying me for ages so I thought I would just ask!!!

Yes I know how to quote. But you can only quote a single post. Not one that already contains a quote

strike through

Two hyphens (no space) what you want to strike out, then two hyphens

what you want to strike out

Yes, I've noticed that on the app too (hence me not being able to do exactly what you describe above).
Also on the app (iPhone)

Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Perhaps it's not possible on the app then?

I thought you had to have mumsnet premium to do the double quote thing

I don't have premium, but can quote something previously quoted on the desktop, but not the app.

BackInTheDales · 14/12/2022 11:43

@TheOrigRights oh I see, I only use the app on my phone for mumsnet. Thank you for explaining.
