A question on using quotation in Pprune

[Tee Emm]

After highlighting any required paragraph in a Pprune post, it will eventually appear enclosed in a blue border under which one makes suitable comments on the highlighted subject. That is with my desk top PC. But when I go the same route with my lap top the actual words [Quote] appear on the finished work instead of the full blue coloured highlighted quote. That is after I press the submit button.

I am not sure why my lap top does this while my PC works normally using the blue highlighted quote. Appreciate advice please?

Subtly different keyboard, perhaps? (US vs UK or summat?)

If for any reason it misses the '/' infront of the end 'quote' it doesn't display in a box, so perhaps it's that?

To quote something, you need opening and closing [quote]... i.e.



!quote! TEXT GOES HERE !/quote!

(replace ! with [ and ] as appropriate).

Alternativley, just highlight the text you want to quote and hit the quote button, it looks like this :

Tee Emm - as an interim, use preview post before submitting?

Thank you all for your advice. I managed to get the quotation blue highlighting working again.
