Anyone else having formatting issues?


I keep trying to quote but even the parts I'm not quoting are greyed out.

Testing.

Could it be how many quotes are being used? Might have to edit and go back in if using more than one.

Let's try.

Test #1

This is test #1[/quote]

Test #2
[quote]This is a test #2[/quote]
[quote]This is test #3

reply

Clearly it didn't work. There is a [quote] right before the first one and it doesn't appear there, but the closing quote appears. It's strange. Also the closing quote doesn't appear after test #3.

reply

"quote" blah, blah "/quote" isn't working on your end?

Let me post two messages. The First will be one sentence with a quote. The other post will have two quotes.

How are you today?[/quote]

[quote]I'm doing fine.

reply

There you go! The problem arises when I put two quotes into one message.

reply

]I see what you did there.[/quote]

[quote]We're good to go!

reply

Yep, doesn't work for you either. I can see where you wrote "quote".

reply

Everything, even words outside of the quotations, gets turned into one. Same problem with bold, italics, but not url. Interesting.

works fine

Try doing it twice in the same message like so:

Message1[/quote]

[quote]Message2

reply

See? It didn't work when I put two in the same message.

reply

It doesn't seem to work. you are right.

It seems like you can only use one formatting tag in a post.

reply

You can use one formatting tag once, but you can use different ones in the same post. For instance:

This is a
test of the formattingfeature of this board

reply

That's what I learned a while back. Just one of each formatting tag per post.

Edit: Oops, except urls. You can do multiples of those.

reply

Isn't there a way we can inform the mods to see if they can fix this?

reply

I don't think the mods can fix it. Site owner Jim is the only one who can.

reply

I'm almost 60 and yes, I've been having formatting issues all my life. Surprised I made it out of high school. All my quotes are greyed out too, plus the non-quotes. I think we're zombies but haven't figured it out yet.

reply

Doing more than 1 quote has always been a problem.

reply

I could have sworn I did it on this site before and didn't have a problem.

reply

I tried to do it on this site a long time ago and it didn't work then. I've tried it several times since and it was still the same. So that's been my experience.🤷‍♀️

reply

I've had that problem too. It's just silly.
