FlyBackTransformer Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Guess I should have asked this weeks ago. Maybe it's the browser I'm using but I can't find the button to respond to posts with a quote. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the browser I'm using but I can't find the button to respond to posts with a quote. Anybody? When they recently revamped this web site, they inexplicably removed the quotation button, which I would guess was probably one of the most-used features. There's a work-around: copy the text you want to quote, then in your new message, paste it in preceded by a forward arrow (">"). You'll get a quotation just like using the old quotation button. (Credit for this manual fix goes to the person over in the technical discussion section who suggested it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why indeed. musikone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
