mijan24 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Not sure why you are having difficulty quoting, if you are just copy pasting, then select the text with your mouse and then hit the quote box in the fast reply at the bottom, If you want to quote someone, hit the quote button under their post, same if you want to quote several, hit multiquote. a popup will appear at the bottom that gives you the chance to reply and mijian, I am afraid I don't know what you mean. sorry When you open a post and read the posts at the end of the page under the new format your avatar appears with the heading "reply to this post" but if the post is 2, 3 etc pages long the opportunity appears at the bottom of each page not just the last page I thought it may have been a waste of board space.(just a thought).

Then I scroll down to "reply to this topic", left click inside the box, then I click the small quote button... and nothing happens. Edit. I'm using IE 8 but there was no issues before.

sbk Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I am lost, I have no idea why you can't select the text inside the reply box and then put quotes around it with the quote button. Perhaps I am not making myself clear. You need to paste the text INTO the reply box, do not click quote box until text is already pasted. and then select that text and click the quote box. What happens if you type the tags around the text you want to quote instead. no spaces [ quote ] text [ / quote ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totster Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Indeed, but it does not. looks like it just did for me ! totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybother Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Indeed, but it does not. So, after you have pasted the text into the box, highlighted the text, and pressed the quote button, what happens to the highlighted text? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) What happens if you type the tags around the text you want to quote instead.no spaces This happens. So what I can understand, the quote button is a "hot key" for the HTML tag. But it does not seem to work. I mean I've made hundreds of quotes before the change to the new layout, and never had a problem. Edited December 28, 2011 by Semper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked the "quote button" and the tags did not appear. Ok, no big problem, I just have to figure out how to make my own "hot keys" for the quote tags.

tombkk Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Iam am seeing this problem with some buttons. Still have the same issue, except now the "button" is a solid colour. Am using Firefox. A confirmed layout bug, webmaster will fix asap. Cheers! I imagine webmaster sleeps and likes to enjoy Christmas day too. Some patience, thanks. I cannot confirm this (but I am too stupid to post a screenshot supporting that it displays well over here). Firefox 8.0.1. On a side note, why are the quotes limited to 4 levels? Seems too few to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
