iantt Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hi Stephen, but it does seem that you can still quote. That function is no longer working for me mmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 @iantt so you can still quote !! Not sure whats going on this morning. All the names of the posters have gone from the top of quotes as well as me not being able to use the quote function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdci-Peter Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Not sure whats going on this morning. I can still partial quote, but it was not as usual, I got a little arrow, and had to put the mouse over a tiny dash in the middle to activate. Also the names above the quotes are missing normally, but re-appear if I turn off scripting, so they are still there in the underlying code. Though quoting is a scripted function it seems, & not much actually works with scripting off. So it must be a generic site problem. I checked on another page also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I have just had a message back from Trevor in FOC admin. I always like the idea if it's not broke - don't fix it !! Hi unofix, Ford Owners' Club has replied to your support request. Re: Quote function not working. Names of posters missing from quotes Hi We have looked into this issue and it is because of an update that the black box now appears. This acts as a quote button for selected (highlighted) text. Additionally, the quote button at the bottom still works fine and selects all of the text in the quote box. Are you using a mobile phone or desktop for accessing the forums? Best Regards, Trevor (admin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 When I try to highlight text to quote, I no longer get the "Quote" box as I used to. Now all I get is a tiny small black box with what looks like an even smaller white line inside. Clicking on it does nothing. OMG!! I've only just realised this a feature!! (Clicking the white line does work for me). I've been clicking on 'full quote' and deleting parts all this time!! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 OMG!! I've only just realised this a feature!! (Clicking the white line does work for me). I've been clicking on 'full quote' and deleting parts all this time!! I get no 'box' or white lines - I'm using a laptop. Wonder if the FOC admin guy knows about this burgeoning thread, or does he think that Unofix was just making a nuisance of himself LOL I thought the whole point of a 'quote' was to get a continuation of the conversation, referencing your own response? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Yes, I can quote using the black box thing but there seems no way of showing who you're quoting, unless you quote an entire post and then delete the bits you don't want, as Tom mentions. Seems a bit of a retrograde step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Another charming quirk of the 'upgrade', is now when you get a notification box on the thread you are viewing, it is now 'blank' LOL Someone in FOC HQ needs to switch the computer off, and switch it back on again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 perhaps you reached your quota for the month Just managed to get the quote to work again !!!!! I have to hover my cursor over the stupid tiny little black box and then just to P++s me off a bit more I then have to get the cursor exactly over the even smaller teeny tiny white line and get the cursor to change from an arrow to a hand !!! To quote Victor Meldrew "what in the name of God were they thinking" I notice we now have spell check as we type - one small improvement and two steps back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenFord Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Black Friday Don't UK retailers realise that this is a specific American holiday to kick start the Christmas retail gorge the day following Thanksgiving (always the 4th Thursday in November)! We do NOT celebrate Thanksgiving here so the whole event for us is a nonsense... Is it compulsory for us to import every bit of cr*p American culture?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This is the first I'm hearing that anyone actually looks at the welcome screen on any forum... Surely that's a stock photo anyway, poor guy probably drove there in his battered Corsa C just to hold an electric plug and smile like he's got wind for minimum wage... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
