A member must have been accidentally multi quoting posts and hit the limit.  Now they don't know where the quoted anything.   Is it possible to clear their multi quote selection?  Seems to span multiple topics.

Cookie = 2K of data. Multi-quoting your post there = 1,162 characters alone.

Local storage = 5MB

Edit: actually, it might have moved up to be 10MB.

If not a mobile, then clear the following from "Local Storage" (screenshot from Firefox, developer tools accessible via Ctrl + Shift + I)

Could contain: File, Webpage, Page, Text

Is there a non-technical "easy" mode for doing this?  I have to explain to a non-technical member, once I get into Dev Tools, they're going to be lost in the sauce.

Clearing browser cache would generally resolve it

More specifically than the generic "clear your cache"...

If using Chrome, clear "Cookies and other site data"

Could contain: Text, Page, Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

If using Firefox, you can delete a specific site's data...

Could contain: Text

Turns out this was even easier 🤦‍♂️

Just click the X to the right of the popup at the bottom right of the screen that has the number of Quoted Posts selected.  That clears them all out.  Note you can multi Quote posts across topics and that list gets carried around.  Seems a bit odd, as you can selected quoted posts from one topic and use them in another topic where they wouldn't have any context.  Not sure if that's by design or not.

Could contain: Text, Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Well, I mistakingly made the assumption that hadn't worked for you...

Sorry my fault, I had no idea that X would do anything more than simply close out the window in the active browser window/tab.  Hard to tell there that the X is a "clear" and not just a "close" popup.
