| There really seem to be some serious differences in the way members are able to quote other posts in their own. I know that it has been mentioned many,many times - but a fix would be nice. I can only add a quote at the start of a post if I first add a . and then hit enter. I have seen other posts that start with a quote - why isn't it available for every user?

| There are difference in forum behavior between browsers, I noticed, so that may have something to do with out. The forum uses 3rd party software so I'm not sure how much control RL has over its behavior.

Gerry - Are you not able to press the Quote button above each post, just as I did for your one?

| Peter, as you see above, on Android I can even quote without adding any text!
no way I can do that in Win IE!
dunno about Firefox so depending on the original poster's browser he possibly cannot!

Nope, Wendy, it doesn't work with Firefox 12.0. If you try to post a quote without adding a message, you get:
"The following error occurred...
The board administrator has requested that you must provide some message content within your post. You cannot post only HTML, Images, EmotIcons or IFCode."

From W.H. Auden's (1907-1973) 1942 poem "Canzone":
When shall we learn, what should be clear as day,
We cannot choose what we are free to love?
--------------------------------
August Graf von Platen-Hallermünde (1796-1835),
Auszug aus einem "An Justus Liebig" gerichteten Gedicht von 1828:
Soll bergen ich mein innerstes Vermögen,
Was ich empfinde zu bekennen schwanken?
Ich schämte mich der eigenen Gedanken,
Wenn sie, wie Schwalben, an der Erde flögen.
Hienieden lohnt's der Mühe nicht, zu zagen,
Und wahr und frei zu sprechen kleidet Jeden,
Da bald wir Alle ruhn in Sarkophagen. |
