What happens when you right click and open new tab, middle click or otherwise do things?

I believe the quote thing is javascript based and if the page has failed to load fully (and Malaysia is not exactly noted for the crazy internet speeds) it could be the basic left click option will fail out.

Lmao, you tried, tool.

I can quote on other forums normally including ones using XenForo. I doubt its connection speed.

Code:
[quote="FAST6191, post: 5055135, member: 32303"][/quote]


heh. it's blank FAST6191

I saw a cool Xenforo trick.

You can insert the current user's username in the thread title.
It catches everyone's attention.

The thread appears normal.
But the {username} in the title is a variable displaying everyone's own username.

Tricky !

I can quote posts when I switch to BB Code Editor but when I use Rich Text Editor I am getting blanks.

What the crap. This one came up backwards for me as well. You're breaking my brain at almost 1 AM :c

I think I found the cause of this issue and the solution is simple. :wacko:

1. Go to your SETTINGS
2. Look under PREFERENCE
3. UNTICK the box next to 'Use the rich text editor to create and edit messages'
4. SAVE

At least that's how I resolved it.

Appears to be a problem between IE11 and the editor we use. IE11 apparently made some rather big changes.
The editor also grows as you type for some reason (at least on my end).

Edit: Added a fix. Let me know if it works (or breaks anything else :P)

I can confirm that quoting does not work on internet explorer

However it works in chrome
Even on Chrome? Weird stuff. Maybe it's user-specific.

I'm on Chrome and I could quote Lakum and Thirty3Three, but FAST6191's post just came up entirely blank.
And this one quoted backwards. What the actual fuck?

I dont want to install another browser just for this site and someone with Chrome in this thread had problem with quoting anyway.
