    One thing that annoys me is that when replying to a post which already contains quotes within it if I want to also contain those quoted posts within the post I'm replying to.

    Sometimes I have to copy a post into the post quoted and if there are several it can take time, can I suggest a feature in the future that when replying/quoting a post that any quotes within the original post are also copied within the quote in the same manner as the post quoted if you get me :)

    Thanks GM228. I have a feeling that this was deliberately disabled at some stage in the past for brevity so that every post wasn't including an increasing number of quotes. However I'll add it to the suggestion list as an optional extra rather than the standard quote function.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    This would be a useful optional extra, as sometimes in the context it helps to have the full body of the posts together.

    There is an option in the meantime to use the multiquote function if it's necessary to have all the posts in the reply.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
