Trimming posts on phones and tablets

You should be able to trim posts on any device. If you don't have a box to check that says "include text" then try long pressing in your text box to select what you need to cut out. (choose select word or select all and then you can move your selection size to fit whatever you want).With iOS, you should be able to long press, too. My iPad isn't in front of me right now or I'd double check that it's long press but I think it is.If there are still any questions on how to do it on phones and tablets, just ask and I'll see if I can just start taking screen shots and show you what to do.

I also have a hard time trimming on my phone... it's android. I will look next time... I think my only option is to include text or not (not edit)

Then I would just not include the text but I'm positive that if you long press in the text box after you've written stuff, you'll be able to select and delete.

I'm not going to go all postal on you guys for not trimming your posts, guys. Just try to be kind and thoughtful to those that are on daily digest that have to sift through all the mess of untrimmed posts. It's not fun. Not too mention that these untrimmed posts *do* take up space.We all forget to trim at times - let's just try to be more conscious of it, please.

BTW, I just double checked my phone and long pressing doesn't work to select previous emails! so much for being *positive* lol! Just don't include the text and either add someone's name to the subject line or just say something that will let us know who/what you are referring to if it's not obvious.

Thanks , Cheryl. I figured out how to delete what is there on the screen. I still will not be able to delete the previous posts that do not show up on my e-mail format. But hey, at least it's something :)Thanks for taking the time to help.Mom to 5 year-old LiamConnected by DROID on Verizon Wireless Re: Trimming posts on phones and tabletsI'm not going to go all postal on you guys for not trimming your posts, guys.
