Posting/linking problems

[TheOldGuard]

Hi!

 

I was just wondering if anyone has come across the following issues that I am having when posting & whether anyone can help me please (or let me know if I am simply doing it wrong!).

 

 

1. Using the quote "button" to reply to a specific post and thus showing the box of text from the original post in my reply

 

When I try this, my "quote" post just appears as a regular reply post with no original posters text shown. Any thoughts?

 

 

2. I would like to add myself to the index of Reaper painted figures post & insert links of my pics to it.

 

Whilst creating a post, I have tried both clicking the link button to add a direct link or typing some appropriate text, selecting it then clicking the link button. The "link" pop up window appears & I copy the URL address into the appropriate text box & click ok but the pop up just stays there forever (the close pop up "x" does not exit the window but you can still type in the text boxes). Eventually, I have to close the browser window to exit the post.

I suspect that I am doing something wrong here, can anyone enlighten me please?

 

Also, I want to add links to my signature (future WIP's for example) but I have the same problem here too.

 

 

I'd much appreciate it if anyone can help or maybe give me some suggestions please.

 

Many thanks!

Have you tried a different browser?  Last I heard, the forum software had problems with some software like IE.  Firefox always works well for me, and I'm sure many others do as well.

Are you using the mobile version?

I've heard that IE has those issues around here as well.

I'm using IE, I think I'll give Firefox a go & report back tomorrow.

 

Thanks all!

I use Google Chrome w/o any ill effects as well.

Ok, I'm using Firefox now and..... success! Issue 1 solved as shown by this reply to Serenity via the "quote" button.

Just need to do some posts with links in to check issue 2 using Firefox, will post back here with my findings soon.

 

Many thanks for all of your input.

Ok, issue 2 has worked as well now - I have managed to put a link to my current WIP in my signature.

 

Great stuff - Many thanks to you all for helping me with this!

I'm using Safari on my Mac and don't generally see these problems, but what I am seeing is that when I use the "Quote" button and the then add my note under the quoted message and try to post the message I get a "Post is empty" error.

 

Anyone else see this?

No experience with Safari, but IE is the devils browser and only good for downloading one of the other ones. 

 

Is Opera still around?
