RE: QuickQuote by kao on 06-03-2004 at 01:57 AM

it quotes anything that is selected in the browser, if nothing is selected then it selects the whole post...

Yah.. It's rather buggy, always has been, if you select a piece and then unselect it and quick quote somebody else, strange things happen.. Also after selecting once, it's rather hard to impossible to quote the entire reply (with all emoticons etc, by unselecting and pressing quick quote).

Running Opera 7.50 build 3778.

Ok, upgraded to opera 7.51 and quick quote works properly :dodgy:

And forum layout looks normal (with 7.11 the quick reply box was way the hell on the right hand side of the screen)

That bug is the result of fixing another bug. :p

I found that when you selected some text and clicked the button, the selection was blank. Opera was considering the button click to be a selection... :s

If you quote the wrong thing, just go back to the post and click the button again (without making more selections, of course). It's an annoyance, but it always works for me.

Sometimes it quote's jus apart of it, and I want all of it. :S That's kinda weird, but most of the tim, it works :D

is the result of loading the page, then pressing quick quote without clicking anywhere else first.
