gazzathegreat 0 Posted November 5, 2008 I don''t know, all I do know is as I am on a non PC computer, ie a Mac I can''t use the quote button. It''s slightly annoying as it loses continuity with everyone else. I don''t understand anything to do with computers but would love anyone with any knowledge to solve it, maybe you have the same problem as me Seaman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC_Shaun 0 Posted November 5, 2008 I think I know. It''s with certain people''s posts. Such as We8wba. His name currently has a commar in it. It doesn''t work unless you delete this commar. Then it posts perfectly. This also happened with C.T''s old name when he had an exclamation mark. Once deleted it worked perfectly.So I think it is just certain punctuation marks do not work when quoting. Just delete them out of the name ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzathegreat 0 Posted November 5, 2008 There is no punctuation in my name Shaun, I will await some computer genius to help me and everyone else who has this problem with the quote button. I also can''t do icons either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then it should work ... If not there must be another reason to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted November 5, 2008 All down to punctuation marks as noted above. The Mac issue is solved, oddly, if I go into the post on IE and edit it - see jetstream''s post above.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
