To wish people would stop quoting a long post and typing This.

It's doing my head - and my scrolling finger - in.

Love the strikethrough, and also I want the face for my texts

That face is one of my favourites, although I rarely use it and yes, need it for outside MN too.

I find it very validating when someone does it to my posts doesn't happen very often......

You need to take the gaps out between the hyphen and the letters.

I think my actual face does it in RL probably.

Two dashes on each side.

Two dashes and no space in between them.

Ahh ffs 😂😂😁

I remember the trial and error of trying to post a picture on here for the first time. It seemed incredibly complicated. Even now I still Preview before posting in case I've posted a picture of the cat or family accidentally.

@Fembot123

- -help me- -

You're getting there. Now no spaces between those dashes.

Aww .

@Fembot123

Two dashes touching the letters and no spaces. You can do this.

@CateTown

You don't need to signal your agreement with a pp if you have nothing to add to the conversation. You can just nod sagely.

You don't need to tell other people how to respond to posts either. You can just be angry, quietly and without posting a thread about it.

@CateTown

Ooh Earrings - it won't let me quote your post at 18.04. Wonder if my quoting privileges have been revoked for being snippy?

😀 MN tech is on my side maybe?!

I do it I would prefer a like button thought

The two dashes join together on autocorrect.

You have to type it - - and then go back and delete the space. Proper ball ache!

Though*

And an edit function would be useful too...

I wouldn't mind a timed edit function but if it went on any longer than being able to correct a typo in the title you would have posters rewriting history all over the place.

And you can’t quote a post that already contains a quote - I tried with the ‘this’ posts on the first page

Oh no...

onelastgo

I did onelastgo without the space between the dashes and the words.

Agreed. I don't know if people realise that quoting a PP is not the same as tagging. Often folk quote with a follow up question which without the @ is unlikely to get a response.

There's various camps on this one tho.

I don't often @ someone unless I am particularly making a point & think it's important they see.

Usually I concur with the view that it's not great manners, as posters on a thread will follow it & see other's points / responses to them.
