If you hold down/right click the quote button, what link does it give?

For example your post I'm replying to, if I right click the quote button and copy link address it gives me...

No problems experienced at "The Cattery". As far as I am aware, there have been no changes to the site-code.

Check your forum preferences under Profile > Look and Layout

The setting which can affect this is "Use quick reply" - Change it to "Don't show at all"

Have you always had Quick reply on by default?   If you did and it previously worked,  can you recall when it stopped working?

I can't get it to work either and the green bar just sits there saying loading, but I know from long ago that Quick reply and the WYSIWYG editor can sometimes be temperamental which is why I don't use them :(

yep I had it on for eternity, I have had longs gaps of not using the forum, but I would say it probably broken within the past 2-4 weeks, might be able to get an indicator by searching my posts, check for my newest post before the date I made the report and thats when it worked.

I take it I can eliminate this post immediately prior to your report.

But it seemed to work ok here on July 1st ?

I installed a bug fix on July 3rd for embedded posts.   If you can just confirm those dates are correct, then I'll file a bug report which may indicate they are related.

I've always had Quick Reply on by default, and the quote facility was working on the 3rd July when I quoted a message which had been posted in a tiny font. But now I see the same problem as you.

  • I've filed a bug report.
  • I've also rolled back the embed code fix as there are no security implications.   As such you should now be able to use the quick reply function again
