Ja Sm Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How do I do this? When it appears in a little box and shows that I am quoting something that someone has said in a previous post? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 If I'm understanding your question correctly..... Look at the post of the person who's quote you are interested in. Now look at the lower right side of their post and you will see: "Quote" click on that - and your typing box will come up with the other person's quote already in there. You can practice on my post. Look to the right -----------> see the word "Quote"? click on it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjuli_Bai Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well, good job - except when you type start typing below the quote - otherwise your typing will become part of the quote. Look up at #3 - just above and you will see that's what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Whereas if you type below as I am doing now- my new typing is below my quoted remarks. Does that make sense? JaSm, when you press "quote", in the reply box you'll see what the other person typed, followed by square brackets with "/quote" in. if you make sure you do your typing AFTER those brackets, you should be fine. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 And I think the MultiQuote feature should allow you to quote from several separate messages at once, shouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you click "multiquote" on the posts you wish to quote, a little button appears (bottom right for me) which reads "Reply to X quoted posts". You have to click there to get the multi quotes.

aileen Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 When I press on "Quote" I get a lot of stuff other than the words which I actually want and square brackets. Why is this and what do I do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aileen Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 John, may I refer you to the beginning of post #47 in the thread "Falling at the first hurdle" in the Doing Dance section of the forum. I am using Safari on an i-pad. I believe that I have quoted successfully before, but it may have been when I was using Google Chrome on a computer.

patsomerset Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The quote button no longer works for me. When I press quote all that happens is that a reply box opens after the last post, but no quote.

alison Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 It may depend on your browser, Pat. I can't get much out of it on Chrome, as I am at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Test using IE 11.0.96.. under Windows 7 64 bit Does not seem to work. Don't use ordinarily. It also seems to have a problem with pasting text into this box (probably same problem!) The Firefox and Chrome tests above all worked and are using the latest versions of each browser. Perhaps John might be aware of an IE problem - there is a lot of hassle around IE just now with various updates needed. Don't think I'll be doing anything again with it. For whatever its worth I run Firefox on main machine, tablet (Windows) and phone (android). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 ...whereas this with Firefox 3.5.7 under Windows is fine. John …and this is from my iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 By the way, Pat, what happens if you copy and paste the quote into the "Reply to this topic" box, then highlight it and click on the "speech bubble" icon immediately above? Does that work? Because that (along with everything else in the two lines above) is greyed out for me on Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 By Jove, I seem to have fixed it! This seems to be a well-known problem with I.E. 11 and I've just installed a little workaround.

Melody Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks so much, whatever you did! I noticed yesterday that the Quote function was finally working in IE. I can also use cut and paste in my posts in IE which I couldn't do before - always had to go over to Chrome to do that. [if we had an Applause or Notworthy smilie, I'd be adding it here] There's still one problem that seems to exist in IE and not the other browsers, although it's less annoying than the inability to quote. I can't edit my posts in IE without doing an extra click to go to the Full Editor page; the regular Edit button doesn't work (at least, it gives me the box I need, but nothing happens when I try to post). Is there by any chance another quick workaround? Edited May 3, 2014 by Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 My friend Nemo can't reproduce that problem with I.E. 11 and I can't see anything similar reported. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well, please thank him for checking and give him a bone. That problem is really minor compared with the inconvenience of not being able to quote or post links, which has been sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) As of today my new-found ability to copy and paste (at least, to paste what I've copied) has gone away again in IE11. The quote feature is still working, though. I noticed yesterday that YouTube videos weren't embedding, which they were doing fine up until last week, although it doesn't seem to be a problem for other people. Working fine in Chrome, btw, just not IE bloody 11. Edited May 10, 2014 by Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
