Problems using forum in Mozilla
I regularly use a forum of which I am one of the moderators...
There is a facility to quote an entire message which works fine, however if I want to quote only part of a message or segment I encounter an area.
In I.E. I would copy the text I wish to quote, paste it and then with the text highlighted press the "quote" but on the forum this then produces the word "quote" in brackets at the beginning and the end of the quote.
When pasted it shows up as a quote.
However in Mozilla, Firefox and Seamonkey the quote in brackets only appears at the end of the quote and when pasted actually shows the word quote in brackets but it does not post as a quote!!
Is there anyway around this as I want to desist from using I.E. as soon as possible
Thanks

I guess this belongs more to Web Development because it seems to be a problem about the way the forum software you use accesses the selected data. Can you tell which forum software is used? ANd probably a live link to check?
Think for yourself. Otherwise you have to believe what other people tell you.

A registered user is supposed to find the egosearch button ...

But you can tell the used software. Maybe some one else knows the problem.

I believe petehyder did say what the forum software is.
