Press 'quote' as if you're going to post a reply. You will then see what's been written in the whiteout.


Please do remember, though, that if you do want to reply to the post, you have to press the back button to leave the 'quote', and start again on a blank reply, otherwise the penguined bit will show up against the green of the quoted bit in your reply.

Hope that makes sense.'

As an example, here's a whited out bit that isn't a penguin, just a demo.
If you press 'quote', you will see it.


Here is an example of a pretend penguin

And here is that post, quoted 'by mistake', to illustrate what happens if you quote a penguin.

I've got an easier way of seeing penguins - Just highlight the whole of the post and they will show up.

(Or you can go to the zoo where they have them in special pools )

Can't do that on an iPad, though!

Ah. I forget how old fashioned I am with my laptop, sometimes!

Quick way to highlight (on a laptop at least!) is to press control plus A. then everything goes blue!

Can't do that on an iPad, either!
