I have a problem and I know you can help.

Reply With Quote problem.

For some time now I can't seem to be able to quote other posters when replying to messages. I used to be able to. So I checked the "posting tips" link below but that is not much help as there does not appear to be a button to click on. I am sure it must be me missing something, but I am a bit clueless at the moment.

Extract from help.

Reply With Quote

If you are commenting or replying, you may quote existing content on the page (for instance, someone else's post) by highlighting the text/content you wish to refer to and then clicking on the comment/reply button/link. The highlighted text will then be automatically inserted into the comment/reply box.

Thanks.

I know there have been quoting problems lately but it seems fine in Firefox. What you have to do is open the reply box AND THEN highlight what you want to quote and then press the quote button (third from the right )

If you're using IE or Safari it won't work at all

I'm on Google Chrome and just need to highlight the text, hit the reply button and then hit the

button.

The bit you highlighted will then appear.

The GaGa people in Seattle are aware of this quoting problem on IE, but I must say it seems to be taking some time to fix it.

Thank you all for the quick responses.

I have tried the highlighting and pressing the quote button as advised, but that does not work.

Fortunately SazBomb answered my query. I am on a Mac and using Safari. So I either have to chose another browser or shift to an older PC.

Going to see if Opera has a Mac version as I have been using this browser on a PC and like it.

Thanks Charliesock / SazBomb and Blizz'ard.

I know there are some people who go round that problem by copying and pasting the bit they want to quote then putting it in a different colour

me and Z have the same problem

I'm using chrome on my work PC now. it works on FF on the mac but I didn't really like switching between browsers

What I do (on the laptop obviously

) is copy the text, open the reply box and type [ quote ] without the spaces, paste the text then type [ /quote ] again without the spaces... its not bad

I think for the time being I will do what some of you are doing and that is to copy and paste into the reply. It's going to make replying quickly just a bit slower, but hey, it's only until I have found and installed and tested a new browser.

I have just checked Opera and it has an installation for Mac OSX, but I am stuck with a slightly older version, so a check will need to be carried out.

If you are not familiar with Opera (link below), have a look at it. I quite like it.

As I'm on IE I can't quote either but don't want to use another browser. I've used copy and paste sometimes which seems to work. Personally I don't understand how it can take so long to fix as other Forums don't have a problem coping with different browsers.

Agree Yellow rose - Especially as IE is the biggest of the lot !

Exactly Slim! Sometimes I can't be bothered to reply to posts because to make sense they need a quote, especially if it's a long thread with a few pages, very frustrating. Also why has Feedback been removed, where to go now if we need some advice, guess we have to rely on helpful members lol.

I'm on FF and can quote but find it easier to copy and do the old [ quote] paste [/ quote ] (without gaps

Everytime I see the title of this thread I keep hearing:

'If you've got a problem yo I'll solve it check out the hook while the DJ revolves it'

from Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice.

Erm, as you were.
