Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

That dry heat's getting to ya, aj.

Nah, we're just a couple of die hard Monty Python fans doing the fish slapping dance in our spare time. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean?

I got a time-out for using Monty Python on this board once.

The site seems to have gotten more cheerful and less rigorous since the changes. Perhaps Monty Python will be more acceptable.

Well, this site is definitely more of a chat room than a legal forum now.

Well, at least this sub-forum seems to be.

Until it gets locked and then we can move our banter to the Senior Contributor Discussion Forum (our own special playground).

Ok. New issue for me. At times I type a resply but change my mind and decide to not post it. It seems I cannot delete the post. I have tried closing the window (I open threads in a new window/tabs). I have actually deleted the entire post and then closed the tab/window. When I come back to that thread later, there is my post I thought I deleted in all it’s splendor.


The only successful method I’ve had is to delete the unwanted message and insert a short meaningless entry (like; 1111111111). I post that then I can delete that reply.

How do I delete a reply that I decided to not post?

XF assumes that if you leave a page after starting a post it was possibly in error and automatically restore it.

You need to actually delete the text (control-A, DELETE) to make it stop restoring it.

Actually, this is the CORRECT BEHAVIOR compared to vB's. vB asks you "if you're sure" which is a pita.

Yeah...this has happened to me as well ...

I have observed this same problem.

Additionally, with mutipost reply, it only works on one page at a time. So, say there's a post on page 1 and a post on page 3 that I want to quote in a reply, I have to use workaround like cut and paste, or have more than one post. There are sometimes good reasons to want to do such a thing.

So there is no more multi quote? I hadn’t noticed
