using Safari on iPhone

when I’m quoting a very long post, but only want to address one point toward the end, I’ll replace the first few paragraphs of text with “ ...” (selected the text to delete, but don’t recall if I overtyped or hit “backspace”)

when I hit “Submit” the display has the grey box with “Originally posted by” and the “ ... ”; then there’s a blank line with another grey box containing “Originally posted by” and the rest of the text, followed by another blank line and my reply

the source code has multiple instances of “[ color = # 333333 ]” and “[ / color ]” (spaces added); by deleting some of those I can get rid of the extra grey box so the entire quote appears in a single box
