If you want to split a quoted reply in your posting:

1. Click where you want to split the quoted text.
   • Press Enter once
   • Press Left Arrow once
   • Press Enter three times.

Although the tip says three times I only needed to press Enter twice for this quoted reply to split.

This will split the quote and leave space for you to type something inside the split.

When I read the instructions I was expecting to get a bonus level or a time limited super-weapon.

Fluffy, I found my tip on this:

ST has a video there showing what he did.

It may depend on brower and/or operating system but for me it works (Firefox/Windows 7).

Worked for me on Android phone, used space instead of left arrow 

Edited by El Loro - it seems that tihs works for some people and not for others and may depend on which device, operating system or browser is used.

Thanks Jen, I've amended my opening post to include your tip.

Changed onto Chrome and it works. Like El Loro I only needed two presses of Enter at the last stage to get the split.

Fluffy, I'm glad you were able to do it in Chrome but what had you been using and what operating system and device?

You may want to have a look at ST's topic as he has since posted about which browsers he had tried and they all worked.

OS = Windows 7

Browser was IE11

On my Dell PC

Haven't tried my android tablet, but I would expect that to work as it updates the OS automatically and uses Chrome.

That's odd because I'm posting this whilst in IE11 and I'm using Windows 7 on my desktop

Most strange....I have just changed my BBC password and I'm now getting it working with IE11. Other things that weren't working are now working again too!!!!

I'm glad you've been able to get it working though why changing your BBC password sorted it out is strange.

Update on this:-

It wasn't long before it all went pear shaped again!

After a bit of ferreting around I came across an article that explained it all.

The BBC (in their wisdom) have expanded their site and to get the full functionality you have to allow 'third party' cookies.

I changed my settings to allow this and everything started working as it used to do. However' as I am not interested enough in most of their functions I have returned my settings to what they were and disabled 'third party cookies again.

I can live without access to HYS and the site keeping track of the next episode of things I've been watching or making recommendations based on my viewing preferences!

As a bona fide Luddite....I have no idea what the heck you're on about

@El Loro

Further update:

More ferreting around and I have found the controls that allow me to restrict 'third party cookies' to those associated with the BBC site and keep every Tom,Dick and Harry out!

Yes, I found out a few days ago about that. I think I'm right in that you need to switch off the personalisation to do that via:
https://account.bbc.com/account/settings/privacy
One needs to log in to be able to access that.

You may want to keep an eye on those settings...

I turned off personalisation,  plus all the cookies they allow me to, a couple of weeks ago. However I just took a look at my settings after reading this thread, and they'd all been turned back on...

BBC changed its privacy and cookies policy 4 days ago - I had an email from them about this which is when I changed my settings.
Link to their revised policy statement:

Lucky you! I got no info directly from them. It just stopped working in the normal fashion. I then had to go and dig out stuff for myself to find out what was going on.......and eventually find the necessary info to sort it out.
