Deleting a reply that....

[Brokennock]

I replied to a topic. The reply posted, but, it won't leave the reply dialog box. When I scroll to the end of the topic it is still there.
I tried erasing it and hitting the back button. Still there. Tried erasing it and hitting the link that takes me back to that subforum, it's still there when I go back into the topic.
How do I make the repeat reply go away?

reply is above, posted just fine.
But, when I open the topic again and scroll down,,,

It should disappear next time you post which means it should be gone now.

I've posted replies elsewhere and this one just stuck around here. Oh well, gone now.

Erase/delete what you were going to post, then to to this icon and click it.

Then delete the draft. Otherwise the draft will stay saved for I think it's one day. I know it's some hours but I forget what we set it at.

When I sent a thank you, I hadn't tried it yet.
It appears I don't have that icon,

Is it maybe only on the desktop version?

Thanks for posting this. I've been tolerating this behavior as a bug, but can now see it's a feature (though I still regard the way it's handled as something of UX-design bug). The suggested process of waving the dead chicken to make your draft go away works for me -- but I use only the desktop version. So you may be right in your speculation

I am on a tablet and I have that icon. I have one more thing that you don't have, a letter with a line through it [Sale]. My tablet is a Samsung if that helps.

I'm on a Samsung phone. Haven't tried this on my Samsung tablet. Never looked for the line through a word feature.

Just click on the 3 dots that will bring another drop down editing bar. Any time you see 3 dots, there's a menu to drop down.
Please give it a try;

 

[Brokennock]

I just logged in for the first time on my Samsung A51 and can confirm what Brokennock is saying. The UI is definitely different in these respects, and the Strike-through icon does not seem to appear anywhere. This looks like a device/version dependency of some sort.

I’ve had that happen. Using the x in a left arrow box on the Apple phone key board and deleting removes it but come back and it’s there. Goes away after a time off forum.

I hate it when youse guys talk all technical & shtuff. I don't have enough personal bandwidth.

Please stop using words like "bandwidth". It just confuses me.

 

[Whughett]

Over the years my bandwidth has grown from 36 to 38 and now is 40.

Can anyone translate these to English for me please?
What's a UI? Or a X in a left arrow box?

I've been a Tom Rush fan since his first 8 tracks in the '70's! Biloxi is a favorite!

Seen, and heard, him live a few times. Always great. Not just a great musician, a fantastic story teller.
He's really "Something Else."
