Cant quote posts

[Celt]

Every time I try to quote a post I end up having my message in the same box as the quoted post. I can try to tap outside of that box to type a regular message but it always puts it back in the quote box and the text often skips lines and moves itself to a different part of a previous sentence. The browser on my phone is updated and it is an Android system. This has been happening for a while and I'm unsure why it's doing it.

I just hit "reply" in the post I want to reply to.....just like I did here. Is that how you're doing it?

I never really liked that we can edit quotes, even though it is funny sometimes. Everything in that box should be locked. Somebody could probably get somebody in trouble.

Example: (sorry @Celt for misquoting you. I stayed out of ERPO territory though.)

Every time I shave my ass, and then try to quote a post I end up having my message covered in shaving cream in the same box as the quoted post. I can try to tap the razor outside of that box to type a regular message but it always puts it back in the bucket of chicken and the text often skips lines and moves itself to a different part of the grocery store. The browser on my phone is outdated and it is an electric vehicle charging system. This has been happening since puberty and I'm unsure why Joe Biden hasn't fixed it.

@Celt hit the left-turn down button twice to

move the cursor down away from the quote.

You guys need to quit shaving your asses if you want the quote function to work properly.

@Celt have you tried logging out and logging back in? I know that sometimes works with my Clubs Zoom meetings.

I'm really not sure how to answer this as I can't replicate it. It is true that quoting is entirely based on cookies, so oftentimes clearing site cookies may fix issues with it. Depending on the device/browser, what you may have to clear to include cookies may vary. An important factor (as always) is what browser are you using ? In this case also is there something being used or options that might interfere with cookies.

One thing I'd look at if I were having this issue is the Toggle BB Code function (available in the editing/formatting tools on all posts). This allows a person to quickly switch back and forth between visible formatting and what it looks like unformatted. I use the feature quite often; particularly when trying to work with colored or resized text and things like that, but also useful for managing cursor position where any formatting (like quotes) is involved. One might be able to get a better handle on what's happening using it.

For example , instead of seeing a quote like this:

something here

With it toggled, one would see something more like this , and be able to clearly see the actual beginning and end of the quoted section.

[quote]something here[/quote]

The toggle BB code icon is this in the editing tools. This is a desktop image. On mobile devices, one may have to use the 3 dots and pull down the option (depending on screen width I think)

This is with toggled bb code. I use the default samsung browser on my phone. This has been going on for a couple months. Ive deleted all browsing data, cookies, etc... log in/out etc... it appears to work for quoting someone. Itwas easier before, but at least its something.

So what was the issue?

Not sure, but after using the button that hex suggested I can quote posts again. If I hit that button again id probably have the same issue.
