Re: Forum - problems when using 'reply with quote' option

Wed Apr 18, 2012 11:58 am

I note that when I use this option, both the quote and my reply are highlighted in a purple box, but other users don't see to have this problem?

Watch the blue bar at the bottom of the text entry box when moving cursor around/entering text - if it says Path: p then you will be entering text OUTSIDE the quote, if it says something like Path: Block Quote then you're INSIDE the quote

When all else fails, click the "HTML" button and edit the HTML source code directly.
