How to clear cookies on an iPad:

If you are on your iPad, you go to settings>safari>advanced (it’s at the bottom)>website data (at the top)>edit - and then you can either select individually (this one is under coffee/room.com) or you can get rid of all of it.

@Jodi Thanks! What a lot of cookies in that list.

Can also be accessed via the icon about halfway down on the left of the screen. It's the one that looks like the torso of a person.

Quoting text in your post.

If you want to create a "quote box" with text you've copied from elsewhere, just put a > (greater than sign) in your post and paste the copied text immediately after it (no space after the >). This creates a highlighted box in your post that contains the copied text.

On a related note, if you want to quote someone's entire post in your reply, tap the " (quote sign) on their post. It's the equivalent of the old forum's Reply with Quote.

If you want to quote just a piece of someone else's post that's in a thread you are responding to, just highlight the text you want to speak to and you'll see a Quote box pop up. When you tap Quote, it will just copy the highlighted text into your response.

Markdown help screen

If you want to see the special characters that let you customize your post (like increasing the font size), click on the ?Help that appears on right side of the full edit screen.

Screenshot from my laptop. I'm using the Vapor dark skin. The arrow at the bottom left points to the icon you use to change skins.

The full help link for Markdown is here:
