When you hit "reply" the bolded word quote is on the top right above the reply box.

Also, how do you "bold" the topic? I see everyone's topic is bold and mine is light.

Thanks!

There is a "post" button up in the upper right corner, as opposed to the "post" button that is below the reply box. When you hit that, it gives you the option to quote.

I hope that makes sense. I have a feeling different people see different things here.

Click the Reply button.

The text box will have the word QUOTE over the top right.

Click the word QUOTE and it will insert the quote into your new post.

Enter your reply under the quoted text.

Click the POST button.

Here's a picture.

A bolded topic in the topics list means the topic is unread. Any topic you start will not show up in bold because you wrote it and, presumably, read it.

Okay then, so if you look at the title of this topic, is it bolded or light? To me, it's light. Thanks ChynnaBlue!

If I look at it from where? This page? The Community Chat forum page? The Home page? How it appears will depend on where you're looking.

If you mean on this page, it does not appear bold to me, but it could appear bold if someone's personal settings are set to display X-Large font.

On the Community Chat forum page or the Home page, it will appear bold when any new posts are added so that you know the thread as unread posts. (bold = new, unread posts). Once you read those posts, it will change to normal font until someone else adds a new post that you have not yet read.

I cannot find the quote function to save my freaking life on the iPad. I'm about to give this thing up. The Q obviously did not know what they were doing with this one. I'd rather go use Reddit!!!

The quote function doesn't work on the iPad. It doesn't show up for us to use it.

Gidget, sure doesn't work on my iPad. Out of all the boards I've been on, this redo is record setting in its stupidity.

Unfortunately, this forum doesn't support mobile devices.

We can't:
-) Quote
-) Format
-) Post pictures
-) Attach links

In the old HTML forum. I learned to adapt & I figured it out. But now....I'm stumped...just like everyone else on a mobile device.

Boo.
