Rob-M Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I used to look after a school website which used a standard package based on SharePoint but most of it was preconfigured by the IT supplier. I was able to override most of the styles by the use of CSS, it took a lot of work and the use of a few tools to inspect how each page was themed.

Murflynn Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 new problem: in the Brexit topic I try to reply, and every time I click on the reply button it comes up with a quote which I have not asked for, and cannot fully delete.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac of Cygnet Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Reply button? What reply button? If you want to reply without quoting, go to the end of the topic and write in the box there. The only buttons I can see in posts are + which I think is to do with multiquoting, and 'quote'. I can't see a button saying 'reply'. But like you I haven't quite got the hang of everything yet.

Mac of Cygnet Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ah, right - you don't see this when in the middle of a page, and anyway all it does is take you down to the box at the bottom, which is what I said. And no unwanted quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceinSanity Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 What's this about? The left hand column only turns up in a very occasional thread. When first seen, the two arrows are grey and there's a zero between them. Seems to be a way of giving plus and minus reputation. I've undone the ones I did for illustration since I didn't mean them, apols to cuthound and Bee if they are getting weird notifications! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotEver Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've seen this on other boards. If someone asks a question then the responses can be voted up or down by other readers. So a poor answer could end up with a negative rating and a good answer with many positive points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting idea, but doesn't explain why it happens just occasionally on here. Mind you, sometimes tapping the blob takes me to the top of the page rather than the first unread post, again with no rhyme or reason that I can see.

mross Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 This is odd. can you shut down the phone/PC/tablet completely and restart or reboot. I have found that anomalies do ocurr occasionaly that are never resolved without a reboot. I think this is called a 'memory leak' in the operating system. No doubt lulu fish will carp at this.

Do your unwanted quotes appear in the box when you are typing, or only after you press the 'Submit Reply' button? I'm also using Windows 7 on a laptop, BTW. Very odd.
