QUOTE

[ZFT]

Apologisies if the incorrect Forum but didn't really know where to post this.

The facility to 'quote' on threads has disappeared. (The Reply & Edit icons are still displayed).

Is this a set up that I have somehow changed or is this a PPRuNe generic problem?

[henry crun]

IMHO it was the most missused facility on Pprune, hopefully it has gone for good.

Many more recent members may not know that it was only introduced with the last big upgrade, not that long ago.

Contrary to the opinion of those whom are so fond of using the "Quote", even when they are the next to post, if you just name the person you wish to reply to we will know what you are referring to.

Henry crun,

Do I take it then that ‘Quote’ is not available on yours either?

[henry crun]

I have just had another look and unfortunately it is still there, I cannot be sure but I think it is now in a different place.

[ZFT]

Henry,

Then I must have screwed mine up somehow.

Thanks

[henry crun]

Can you tell all the others who are so fond of using it how you managed that, hopefully they will do the same.

[ZFT]

I'm not sure why you think I'm fond of it?

It's just annoying me that it's disappeared and I don't know why or what I've done to cause this but when I find out, rest assured you'll be the first to know.

System restore restored it - Only recent change was MS Remove hidden data add in!!!!!

Henry - I promise not to abuse it.

[henry crun]

I did not say you are fond of using it, if you read my post again I was referring to others who, IMHO, misuse it.

Mr Crun has it in one (I would quote him if I could....................... )

[ZFT]

Henry,

I have re-read and you of course are correct.

Cheers

It was easier when you could click on "Quote", but hey...

And you can now quote more than one post in a single reply: just click the "little buttons" of every post you want to quote before clicking Reply.

Judging by the replies on this thread, it'll drive some up the wall when people start learning how to use this!

[henry crun]

It's just as well you quoted those two posts vapilot2004, otherwise we wouldn't have had the first idea of what you were referring to.

[vapilot2004]

I get that alot.
