    ...apart from the 'Reply with quote' problem I posed about yesterday (still happening) find I can no longer edit a post. When I try the post flashes onto the screen momentarily but I am then presented with a blank edit box . These problems have only appeared in the last couple of days.

    Anyone else seeing the same thing?

    For me, the REPLY WITH QUOTE button has never worked, so I don't think that's new. I get an alert box asking me to select some text first, even though I have selected some. However, if I select some text, a little pop-up window appears next to it with the word "Quote" in it. If I click that, it works perfectly.

    As far as the edit function is concerned, I have intenshunally wrote dis txt a bit wrong like, so I can test it...

    Edit 1: As far as the edit function is concerned, I have intentionally written this text wrongly, so I can test it...

    Edit 2: It works perfectly for me. Windows 10, Microsoft Edge, laptop.

    My edit thingy just wipes all the text and encourages me to start again. Think it's telling me something.

    I don't have any of the above problems when posting from my phone via Tapatalk.

    But today is the first time I've used my laptop to post on here in a long time, and have the above issues, so it appears that it is only an issue with the desktop version of this site.

    Me too. The edit box either opens blank or I get the buffering circle and it doesn't open at all.

    When it did open correctly, it would type without inserting spaces, likethisforexample. I had to move the cursor right back to the end quote bracket for it to type correctly.

    I have definitely 2 of the problems
    I cant reply with quote - it just hangs there
    If I select just part of a post and hit quote it just starts a new blank reply

    If I try and edit a post I get a blank post with all the original text gone

    I can see the same problems on both firefox and IE -using a windows 7 laptop, and in safari using an IPAD on IOS11 - both were working fine earlier this week

    Juast had a look at this, but no idea why its doing it. the reply with quote option always worked fine up until other day. It works fine if you highlight the text and press the quote pop up, but not sure if that can be done on mobile phone.

    Editing is blank

    Clicking reply to original post opens up the advanced editor rather than the quick reply box, I have made so the quick reply box is permanemtly open for now

    My quick reply box is open and waiting when I get to the end of a thread without me pressing anything.

    Have you done this to up the posts in a day total, cos it has been quiet recently.

    Has that fixed it? Looking at the chrome tools looked there was an issue (404 error) with one of the files (ajax.php). Just restored it and it seems ok now. Can you please test?
