I have not been able to use the quote button all day. (waited to see if it would clear up on it's own...didn't)

I press the quote button and the screen will jump down to the text box but no text will appear in it. I've tried hilighting text and then hitting the button, same thing.  It happens in every thread. Did the forum update change how it works or is it a bug?

Vista with IE7.

I've noticed an issue where selecting quote reloads the page. I have to re-highlight (if wanting specific text) and hit quote again to be able to actually write the post. This sounds slightly different to the one the OP reported.

Hack78. Please remember to include a url of the issue you are reporting and the browser and version you are using.

It did it to this post - I highlighted the text from andrew_'s post and it cleared the text you will see underlined below (I did this from work and copied the text below to clipboard to make sure I didn't lose it - I had to post it back into the quick reply box)

I cannot include "A" url becuase it was happening on ALL posts I was replying to.
Happening at work - XP IE7 and at home - Vista IE7

Hrm. I can't seem to duplicate the issue. Please reply with very specific steps to reproduce the issue.

Here's what I'm seeing; the quote button is working in IE7. Here are the steps.

Choose any thread.

Choose any reply.

Highlight the desired text.

Press the quote button.

These steps however, are not working when I use FF3.

I don't know if Stardock intends to support the FF3 browser.  I can get the FF3 browser to work using the IE Tab plugin.

Did that with FF3 on XP Pro SP2, same steps.

Again by simply clicking the "quote button."

Nested quoting would be nice however, since it doesn't distinguish my reply from the original quoted text.

If I'm reading this right you're saying FF3 without IE Tab works(for quote)?  It doesn't for me.

on Sep 10, 2008

Yep, straight FF3.

BDBF, Try clearing your temp internet files/cache for Firefox. (Ctl+F5 Will usually work, otherwise try CCleaner for a more thorough function).

Quoting is confirmed working with IE6, IE7, Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3.x, Opera 9.5x, Safari/WebKit (latest). This has been tested on multiple machines with the browsers listed.
