I seem to have problems with quoting posts. I click the Quote button, but only get a bar that says Loading... No quote, however long I wait. This has been happening for a long time. Screenshot attached (reduced size). Firefox on Windows 10.

Yeah, same here. Once I'm in the message box, although I can get into the message box via "Quote", I can't add a quote via the "Insert Quote" button.

I have been experiencing that same issue now for almost a year.  Glad to see it is not just me that has been having problems.  Was going to blame it on my browser (FireFox) or one of the Ad Blocker add-ons but I have Ad Blocker disabled for this forum but nothing changed as far as obtaining a quote option when making a comment.  FML

What happens if you open the forum in a private or ingcognito page? If that works, it's probably a cookie or a cache issue.

As usual, Frank is on the beam. I get similar issues sometimes and clearing out the cache and rebooting my connection usually fixes them.

I think because I don't ever stay on the forum forever and login each time I come on the forum, is why a lot of issues I read about doesn't really happen with me. Not to say I haven't had issues, just not like these ones.

I got the quote, when I opened the message in New Tab. Opening in a New Private Window got me to a log-in page. Firefox on Windows 10.

Firefox. Windows 10. I log on & off 2 or 3 times per day, usually. No issues on WIM, which uses a similar set-up from the look of it.

Can an admin edit the first link to the Harry Woodman book on this page and replace the wwi-n-plastic link with the Internet Archive link? http://web.archive.org/web/20080122044909/www.wwimodeler.com/harry/woodman.html

The first link now goes to a page that tries to install a malware plugin.

It only happens if the Quick Reply feature is turned on/open, simply clicking the - in the box will close it
and the problem goes away.

You can turn it off in your profile:
Profile->Modify Profile->Look and Layout->Use quick reply on topic display:(pulldown)
don't show at all
show, off by default
show, on by default

I have the same.  The problem appears to be a Photobucket problem since that is where I have stored the images involved.

Don't use Photobucket.

Correction:  I just received the same.  Will watch and report back.

I am also seeing some issues on other websites so there may be something bigger going on.
