There are times that I want to reply to multiple posts, so I'll click "Quote" on multiple posts and then copy/paste the pertinent parts back into one post. That isn't quite working now. If I click on "Quote" once, fine. If I leave that window open (say I have some stuff typed up already) and I look through the thread and click on "Quote" for another post, it overwrites the original window and I lose what I was typing. I used to open up quite a few reply windows with quotes just to compile a list of stuff I'd like to address in a long-running thread but now it's more difficult. Why is that?

Not only do I have to re-train myself, I lost two really long posts this morning. :( One of them I re-wrote shorter, the other one I just gave up and went back to bed. (not feeling well, sore throat)

What I do (suggestion until this gets fixed) for multiple quotes: copy text into Wordpad, edit text, paste, preview, and post.

I think it would be fun to program a WYSIWYG fusetalk code editor.

A great feature in some other boards is checking any amount of posts in a thread and it automatically quotes them for you in the quick reply message box.

Well, problem seems to have gone away. Maybe it was closing out and restarting the browser. :eek:

Seems to go back and forth for me how it works at times :(

I've lost a few replies due to it. Luckily I've got plenty more where those came from :p
