Press the 3 dots ... on the edit bar, then select the " symbol.

That worked, than you.

But cannot quote @rscott in here. The fact that Adobe, Three, SAP, Intuit, Intel, Danone, Airbnb use this forum code means little - they minimize costs. In Stackoverflow or Reddit I can quote multiple anybody in my posts. See my post examples in https://stackoverflow.com/users/412080/maxim-egorushkin

Well they're completely different tools, for one thing. Khoros can deeply integrate into CRM systems, for example.

This is also a much friendly platform for the average user than Reddit

---

How can Khoros be much better than Reddit when Khoros:

• Doesn't support markdown. Even Slack does.
• Doesn't allow editing of messages.
• Quoting barely works.

IMO, Khoros is the least user-friendly forum.

None of the major social media platforms support markdown either, for the same reason Khoros doesn't - it's not something the average, non technical user would find straightforward.

Editing is allowed, once you've made a certain number of posts. It's one of the many methods used to reduce spam and inappropriate content.

Quoting works perfectly well for me.

I am interested in making Sky box not spam SSDP into my home network.

I am sorry I called this forum user-unfriendly, but it is. It uses the worst forum technology because it is the cheapest. Don't confuse it with other "social media platforms". This is a forum, and the forum technolody has been invented and honed for more than 3 decades. Markdown and visual editing aren't mutually exclusive. This forum uses old obsolte technology and is hard to use, reply and quote. It doesn't support editing, which you ignore; and quoting barely works, there are questions in this very forum about how to quote - that's a hallmark of poor usabilty. 

Now, I would like to focus on SSDP flooding and Sky subtitles from 1990s which either block the entire screen or unavailable at all. The obsolete forum technology isn't my primary concern.

Well, your own network stats show that all your Sky devices emit 52% of SSDP packets into your network.

---

Not surprising when my 1x Main Sky Q Box and 3x Sky Mini Boxes account for 67% of the devices on my network that regularly broadcast SSDP packets.

---

I have 9 devices in my network, one being Sky Q box, which is responsible for 99% of SSDP packets, which no device in my network ever makes use of.

That 125 ppm appears like a debugging aid the developer forgot to undo before commiting his code.

I need an option to contol the rate or turn off those packets completetly. Knowing Sky, I don't think that's going to happen, but I would love to be wrong.

Will probably ditch Sky completely because I am a paying customer but they totally ignore my bug reports.
