skip-zip Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 The "quote" feature will not copy the quote to my reply.I also cannot copy and paste anything into a reply.I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 the other day. Not sure if that is causing it? But I am still using the same IE browser as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Skip, I mentioned that problem here. To the best of my knowledge there was never a solution to this. It's apparently a problem related to the latest version of Internet Explorer that comes with Windows 8.1. It got me to switch to Firefox while others are using Google Chrome.

Chrome works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 In that other thread I mentioned the quote and copy/paste features did work OK for me when I tried them on an older computer with Windows Vista and an older version of Internet Explorer (9.0).Later this year Microsoft will be making Windows 10 a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8.1. Windows 10 will come with an all-new browser called Spartan, which is supposed to be more like Chrome and Firefox. That may resolve the issue as most will take advantage of the no-cost upgrade to Windows 10, which early beta testers say is a major improvement over previous versions of Windows.

Football grandma Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I pushed the button to quote a reply then changed my mind. The quoted reply keeps returning. How do I cancel a quote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 25 minutes ago, Football grandma said: I pushed the button to quote a reply then changed my mind. The quoted reply keeps returning. How do I cancel a quote? Try clicking on the quote box and hitting the keyboard delete button. If that doesn’t work, just complete a nul post and a moderator will delete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Same. Works on desktop but not sure there's a way to do it on mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
