As of about two weeks ago, I can no longer quote from a TR the same way I used to. When I highlight the alphanumeric string that represents an image and hit "quote selected text," it pops in the way it used to for a fraction of a second, but then the entire message body I am working on goes blank, including the text I already typed in. I am sure that I am doing it the say way I used to when it worked just fine. Any thoughts on what is happening?

Yeah, the "quote" function hasn't worked like it used to for quite a while. Sometimes I can fumble around and make it work, but I sure can't recall the right sequence of fumbling to help you. I usually just find it easier to cut/paste the contents of a text document I created whose only content is a pair of quote tags, then cut/past the text I want to quote within the tags. I named my document "quote".

Helps a developer to know what browser and version you are using!

Microsoft Edge/Windows 10. I have not changed anything on my computer that would coincide with this. Thanks!

Never worked for me reliably, I would just quote the whole post and edit down the quote. iOS 10.3.2 safari,android, or Firefox.

Hopefully fixed. Seems limited to certain browsers. Must have been a bug for a long time and nobody said anything. clown.gif
