Shack - why not just use the quote icon above the editor box?

[parabellum]

Same reason as me BOAC, it doesn't bloody work anymore! Smilies have to be dragged and dropped, [ quote] [ /quote ] has to be inserted manually.


Could be an IE11 problem, it snuck up on me and installed itself as I had automatic update enabled.

No, not for me

• Sorry, just trying to include as many functions / smilies as possible

Hmmm....nothing works for me here either, IE11 newly installed, no messing with add-ons and other stuff. FF is fine.

the smilies thing comes and goes for me. FbW's worked; all of them. But Para's and Shack's just didn't work.
Let's see if quoting works:

does it?

yes it does.

Edited (second time, actually) to say that the little info line 'edited by...' didn't come up.

- aha! I must have missed that bit of info on the thread - cannot see it anywhere! I gave up with IE a few years back apart from the odd prehistoric sites that require its use.

BUT I went back to it (IE11/Win7) and lo and behold I see that too. HOWEVER if anyone from IB is reading, the quote icon function DOES work of you select the code page on the editor (a/A top right) and the quote tags do appear (as do all the smilies). If you then post the relevant text between the tags/with the smilies and then return to normal ed mode it looks ok.

I suspect a VB code error - Saab?

I'm logged in using gargle chrome to see if these functions work here.


Yes they do

Definitely a mess-up somewhere using IE 11.

Agreed, I've just uninstalled IE11, back on IE10 and the problem has gone away I think. Let's see what happens when I hit submit

Bingo

Well I've just installed IE 11 to check, and I've got no problem quoting or using smilies. I'm using Win 7 Pro, btw.

Since there's at least 2 people for whom IE11 works just fine, it's probably more likely to do with add-ins or other configuration at the PC-end.

My IE11 is 'raw' with no toolbars, extensions or add-ons bar Google as default search (which I do not seem able to remove!!).
