1. Click "Reply" in their original post.

2. When it comes back with a blank screen and a url in the address line at the top of the screen ending Noquote=1, just click at the end of the line and backspace over the digit 1. You don't need to replace it with 0 or anything, just leave the line ending Noquote=

3. Press return.

This then does what the "Reply" icon used to do on PPRuNe up to about a year ago when it got changed.

just testing, have been looking for this function for ages

thanks - so simple when you know how

Really would be easier if PPRuNe implemented a quote button though

Then the board would suffer as others do - multiple quoting of multiple quotes in posts

At least this way only those in the know, and that can remember the instructions, get to use up space.
