Not able to use quote

@sam ,
In order to quote part of someone’s post, I have to copy it into my reply and apply (").
Is there some setting I need to change to be be able to quote people directly by selecting part of their posts?
I use Chrome for browsing. Thanks.

Hi Rajaa,

I’m on Chrome as well and when I select someones text I get a “quote reply” block I can click:

After clicking that it ends up like this:

Are you not seeing that?

-Willem

No, I do not see the -"quite reply-

hmmm wild guess; is chrome up to date?

I’m on Version 37.0.2062.120 (probably old as well)

-Willem

Im using an up-to-date FireFox and it does show.
Probably a Chrome thing then.

Very odd, can you try opening an incognito chrome window and attempting there. (or try disabling all plugins)

What OS and version of chrome are you on?

My Chrome seems to be up to date: 37.0.2062.120
I run Windows 7
I opened new incognito chrome window and the problem persists.

Strange – we don’t have any other reports of this that I know of.

It still persists. I am using the manual quoting now. Let me know if you need more information from me that might help.

Curious, does this happen for you in Firefox and IE as well?

@rajaa see if clearing your browser data helps (all, except passwords)

Still did not work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I tried this with chrome and IE. Problem persists.

Hope you don’t mide @rajaa I impersonated your account in order to check your preferences and you’ve disabled that “quote reply” feature :wink:

That works! I do not recall touching the preferences, nor had the knowledge that such a preference existed.
Thanks so much for your help.
