Is the quoting mechanism broken since the recent update? I mean where you highlight text and then have a popup that lets you quote it in the reply. It seems to have disappeared, judging from my tests using several browsers.
Works here on iPadOS/Safari
Thank you, @griffman and @tiffle. I shall continue to investigate at this end, then! A restart did not fix the problem, so this will be interesting to debug.
Works here, and I note that because since the update I have a message across the top of all pages saying,
Your browser will soon be incompatible with this community. To keep participating here, please upgrade your browser or learn more.
which links to a page saying,
Discourse’s minimum supported iOS version will be updated from 15.7 to 16.7. After that, visitors using older versions of iOS will be shown a basic-html version of community content so they can continue to read conversations, but they will not be able to login to the site or post content.
Devices limited to iOS 15 are the iPhone 6s, iPhone SE (gen 1), iPhone 7, and iPad Mini 4. These were all released more than 9 years ago, and are no longer updated by Apple (see iosref.com). Unfortunately, it will not be possible to use a browser on those devices that can log into Discourse.
For more recent iOS devices, the OS should be updated to iOS 16.7 or higher.
This change will also affect older versions of other browsers. The minimum Firefox version with support for these features is v128 (July 2024), and the minimum Chrome(ium) version is v119 (Oct 2023). Users who are able to update to a newer version of these browsers can do so to avoid being impacted.
I’m on a Mac and the change was supposed to take effect 3 months ago.
But I do note I no longer get the preview box showing how my message here will look when posted.
3 minutes… not bad. 
I realised that, although I tested under several browsers, they had browser extensions in common. Toggling StopTheMadness off an on, per browser, fixed the issue for each of them. Why that should have been necessary, I don’t know.
Thanks again, everyone, for your input.

StopTheMadness : Protect text selection setting seems to be the specific setting that needs to be disabled.
