AI Thread Summary
The quoting feature has changed, now displaying a Quote Box instead of the traditional [QUOTE] format, making it harder to manipulate the quoted text. Users are seeking a way to revert to the previous default view for easier editing. The solution involves using the "Toggle BB code" button to access the old format. This change has caused confusion among users who relied on the previous quoting method. Overall, the discussion highlights the challenges posed by the new quoting system and the simple workaround available.

Used to be, when I clicked "insert quote" I could see the quoted text surrounded by [ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE] and then I could manipulate the quoted text (to cut out extraneous portions, etc.). Now, I see a Quote Box, and if I try to replace quoted text with ellipses, I get another text box...

How do I get to the "view" of the quoted text that used to be the default view??
