These features are still here with the recent update just not as prominent. Macros are in the highlighted area and the 3 dots ... will expand the menu
The highlighted " marks will quote the post you are replying to.

Guys, this has been discussed in the pinned community issue thread. Just like i missed this thread, PM staff like David_J, might also miss 2+ pages of discussion. Please keep it in one thread so it helps them.

Simplified simon seems to only show when im replying....right on top of the reply button. I can only get the 3 dots to expand the toolbar if I turn my tablet sideways...but I prefer the page set up of the community with my tablet the other way...oh but simon does get out of the way when it's sideways. What a dilemma?

I seriously wish Simon would go away. And stay away.
I don't think you'll find many customers who like SIMon. SIMon is there becaue Public Mobiel wants it to be. It's there to filter unnecessary moderator requests. Unfortunately, this sometimes further frustrates customers.

@dabr wrote:@Luddite That's interesting about when the Quote button is available. For the last couple of days the Quote was available when expanding the tool bar and using incognito mode. Today it's not and I know I can access it by edit first as noted by @CannonFodder
What I don't understand is why it's available some days and not others without any changes on my browser. It's the hide and seek component that's curious.
I don't believe this has anything to do with incognito mode. I've tried different devices and web browsers, and the quote option seems to appear a disappear at random. It's never there on my phone. Sometimes, it's available when replying, while other times, it's only available when editing.

Gotta love quirks if you're active on this forum. 😏
Is that from your experimentation, and is it over the course of a few days?
I ask, because I use Firefox almost exclusively, and it's off & on so much it's dizzying, i.e. it can be working for hours, and then when I log in the next time, it only works when using the Edit function. It's also been on & off on a daily basis, i.e. yesterday it only worked while editing, but today, so far, it's been working as it should. This is always in normal mode..... guess I should try tinkering with Private mode a bit more often.

@GregR7 Yup, it's been working that way for two days now, and one of the PM folks said they recently did some updating and Khoros ALSO did some updating, so the PM person(THINK it was Dave?) was talking about MAYBE reverting back to before the PM initiated update, to see if the issue started due to the PM update, or the Khoros update. Would be nice to get some clarification on this, but I guess we'll just have to muddle along, 'til such time as SOMEONE gets it fixed..... 😕

By "desktop version", are you referring to firing up your laptop, and using that, or using the desktop version of the site on your tablet? If you mean the latter, ISTR someone else mentioned that it doesn't work.
And on this topic, the quote button showed up for me, pretty much all day on Sat., not at all on Sun., unless I hit the 3 dots to edit my post, and then just now, it shows up fine again, without having to edit the post to get it to appear. Either someone is tinkering behind the scenes, or this thing is playing "hide & seek" again.

The three dots (<ahem> vertical ellipsis) does appear momentarily while the page loads - like a pre-loaded cache element, except I cleaned all cache - then it vanishes once the full pagescript starts running.

......but it still shows up for a split second to taunt you.....nice. One of these days I'll get to give feedback on these changes and oh boy the longer it takes to implement it the more time I'll have to take notes....in my notebook....with lined pages and plastic tabs!

This stuff has been discussed in at least two other threads, and mostly this one: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/Community-Technical-Issues/m-p/513446#M10...
Personally, I'm using Win7, with up-to-date Firefox & Chrome, and as mentioned in that other thread, the behaviour isn't the same on both. That, and I don't get any "Macros" button showing up.

Cool @ShawnC13 , thanks for the heads up. Not really a fan of the new setup, but they'll probably change/improve it over time.

I am using Windows 10 Opera browser which has built-in spell checker which let me know my error as I type. The previous forum editor somehow disabled the browser spell checker. Now, I correct my spelling as it tells me..

I'm on a Samsung tablet, using Chrome and neither of them shows up for me. What platform and device are you using? Thanks.
