What happened to the Quotation function?

[Y0GI]

I can no longer see a way to quote a previous post within a thread, nor how to quote multiple previous posts. Am I missing something obvious?

I was going to prove to you wrong that quoting works via the " button on the side, while it is there the it doesnt actually quote the poster. So indeed it is not functioning properly

I just clicked on the quote button (in the + position) and posted this. The previous quote by YOGI is included.

 

[Y0GI]

I don't have a quotation mark ( " ) on my screen. Do you?

Lower right hand corner of previous post.

"Lower right hand corner of previous post."
I'm just not seeing it on my screen.

What do you mean by "in the + position"?

If you click on the quote button you will see it change from a plus to a minus to add or remove a quote.

Here is what I am doing. Go into a previous post. The quote is in the + position then click Reply to XXX, this opens the typical quote window to allow you to post with the quoted material.

 

[Y0GI]

You must click on "post an answer" to get the quote function.
Pick as the solution

I just used the Quote function from the toolbar above the thread answer text box, but that requires a copy and paste to select the text. Is this the only way to do it? I feel like I must be missing something?

I don't see any way of selecting a previous post.

The quote is in the + position

I'm still not getting what you mean by "the + position".

then click Reply to XXX, this opens the typical quote window to allow you to post with the quoted material.

I'm not seeing this either.

I'm sorry to be such a PITA. Maybe my quotation privileges have been suspended or revoked?

Thanks for the help!

I just clicked on Reply to Yogi (in your previous post) and this is the result.

Now we're getting somewhere!

What you describe above is how it worked for me before, but now the "Reply to XXX" line is no longer on my screen. The quote marks for quoting multiple posts are also missing.

It looks like it is a Firefox problem. I just tried viewing this thread in IE and the usual "Reply to XXX" is right there in the bottom right area of the postings.

Now that I've identified the problem, what is the solution?

[Y0GI]

This looks like a bug in the new forum software. How do I go about reporting such an issue?

You did when you started the thread. I'll make sure the other mods and devs see this. Thanks.

Thank you, COLGeek!

Do you run your browser full screen or windowed?

 

[Y0GI]

Thank you, COLGeek!

Yogi

I normally run it windowed. I just tried it full screen and the "Reply to XXX" was there.

Thanks,

I normally run it windowed. I just tried it full screen and the "Reply to XXX" was there.

You could also try resizing it in windowed mode.

 

[Y0GI]

By the time I get the window large enough to show the quotes, I may as well just go full screen, it is so large.

Just to verify, I'm seeing the same issue in FireFox. Clicking on the quote button does indeed turn it from + to -, but appears to do nothing else.

 

[COLGeek]

USAFRet appears to be correct. I played around with the quote icon some more and saw no difference in results.

Ahhh, I'll forward along the issue to the devs for investigation.
