Problem with forum

chrisbur

I was trying to reply to a post by quoting it.  Inadvertently clicked inside the quoted area and now it will not let me click in the reply area and will not let me post the reply so I can delete it and start again as no text is in the reply area. 
Any ideas what to do I am lost?

The is normal. You can one of two things, you can either delete all the text and start again, or you can open up the HTML editor and use that to put your reply after the quote.

Found the HTML and all sorted.  Will have to remember this as second time I have done this. 
Many thanks

Wow, very useful. I've been caught out with this too.

It's a pity the quote text doesn't show the start/end html like it used to. Still, that's progress eh?

The other way to deal with this is to go to https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/drafts and click the x to delete any draft posts.

I was wondering how to do that.

Is there a way to delete all drafts in one go rather than individually?
