Is anyone else having problems quoting posts? Everytime I click the "" to quote a section from a post I get a web address in "" followed by the actual part I want to quote. When I then post it comes up with this address and  have to edit to get rid of it.

I'll try to quote off the post to show what I mean

I then have to edit out  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> to get it to appear as intended

Yep, getting the same problem on my home computer, however my work one doesn't have any issues with this.. Do you think its down to Firefox or even the Windows programme we are on?
By Dakkobear (***) [gb] Date 31.07.11 17:53 GMT
I'm using IE9 and Windows 7. IE 9 is being a pain and keeps telling me the internet has crashed (when it hasn't) but Firefox doesn't support Delicious bookmarks (or didn't 3 weeks ago ;-) )

I'm on Windows 7 too.. Maybe thats the common cause of this?

I never bother with the quote function, I just copy and paste and use italics. Easy. :-) Like this: I highlighted and copied
some of your text : Is anyone else having problems quoting posts?
then instead of just pasting it make sure to add the italics function which is the brackets with an i inside that you click on above,
and then paste it inside the brackets and it comes out like this: Is anyone else having problems quoting posts?

This is me trying the quote function, think it will come out the wrong way for me as well. I use Windows Vista and Firefox, latest version of FF.

I am using chrome and windows 7 and it is fine for me.
if you want the text to look like it has been quoted copy and past the text rather than quote and the just put a > sign at the beginning of the line

>like this

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong

I used firefox and have the same probs as you dakkobear.  Its a bit of a PITA.

I can't even see the quote facility??? :-(
I just copy and paste and put it in quotation marks....

Its a little grey " " button at the bottom of the screen - just under the post you are replying to. ( but it's not working properly ;-) :-D )
