Quote Function

[Mike]

I have had two reports of Firefox not letting people quote from replies.

If this is you, could you advise the OS you are using, the version of Firefox and what exactly the issue is, will it just simply do nothing when you click the quote button etc.

Ta very much and sorry for the issues.

It is especially tricky as I have Firefox and it works fine for me..

Good, it was not meant to.
It is now though, but you may need a cache clear if it still does not work…

[Not Connard Sage]

Cache cleared, browser closed and restarted.

Still broked.

This is what the reply pane looks like in FF. As you can see, no formatting tools. I can’t find any TWW user settings that could turn random buttons, and WYSIWYG off. Soooo…

what version of Firefox?

It works for me on 43.0.4

I had this problem, thought it was a browser update issue and forgot to mention anything. Wasn’t just the quote thing though, was the entire posting tool set barring the ability to just post text.

Seems to be working now though. Though saying that I’m apparently still on version 42.

[Patrice]

Firefox 43.0.4 on OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan.

What happens when you press the quote button?

Can you try highlighting some text from a post and with it still highlighted, then press quote?

“What happens when you press the quote button?”

Nothing. When the mouse pointer is on the quote button I can see the (supposed) address appearing on the bottom left of the page, but when I press the button there is nothing.

“Can you try highlighting some text from a post and with it still highlighted, then press quote?”

Same result.

hmmmm this is a known issue, but I have applied the fix.

Could you log out, clear your cache, wave your hands around and all that, and see if when you come back it works please?

one last try before I cry myself to sleep?

 

 

[Not Connard Sage]

This is from my laptop, I think the chances of both my pooters not playing nicely with TWW is remote. Caches cleared, browser closed, machine restarted on both desk and laptop. No change.

I could try on Mrs NCS’s laptop I suppose…

Try not to get your pillow too damp 😉

hmmmm sorry, could be a while then before I get it sorted.

Sorry, still works OK for you on other browsers though?

 

[Not Connard Sage]

Yeah, it’s fine on Chrome. T’aint no big thing, don’t worry. 🙂
