Quote doesn’t work

#

Started by Michael

Rene or Sarah, help me out here! I had to format my harddisk last week, and re-install everything. Now my network adaptor isn’t working as it should (although I can still access the Internet). Sometimes links don’t work, cookies don’t do what they’re supposed to do, and concerning this msg-boards: when I use the quote button, it doesn’t show when reading my post. Any suggestions?

Michael, sorry to hear about your computer troubles. Do you mean the quoted text doesn’t show up in the ‘post reply’ screen or that you don’t see the quote in the actual post afterwards?

If it’s the latter it might be possible that Sarah or I removed a quote from one of your posts as we mentioned in our hints on using the quote function a while ago. Is there any particular post you’re referring to?

This is by far the best topic I’ve seen on this board the last few months :)

But on a more serious note, I hope your computer troubles are solved very soon Michael ;)

The quote doesn’t show in the actual post afterwards, it does appear in the ‘post reply’ screen. I used it in the topic about the Bad Mother single. I wanted to quote Mr. RobbyVDH, but it didn’t show in the post. I also wanted to use it in another post. I don’t think it was a quote to be necessarily removed, since the posts don’t really make sense without the quoted text!
Another problem is that I have to renew pages to get to messages that were posted recently. It does show new posts in the main WOM page, the one that shows all topics. But when I go to a certain topic category and the topic itself, it still shows older posts, and I have to renew the page to see the new posts.

And Robby: Still laughing? ;-) Kinda ironic that the quote option doesn’t work for me, although I don’t consider myself to be a notorious quote-abuser…

I’m sorry Michael, but yes: I’m still laughing :D

I always thought something like this would happen to me so it’s even more hilarious that it happened to you :)

Michael, I’m not a big expert on this kind of thing, but for someone (not necessarily me) to be able to help, the following information might be useful: what sort of internet access do you have (dialup, broadband)? and which browser are you using?

I have a cable connection, and I’m always using Internet Explorer.
There seems to be a problem with the drivers for my network adaptor (Farallon 593 PCI), one of the installations disks is not working. I have found all the files I need, but no matter what I try, I can’t install it properly. The result is that my Internet connection tends to be very unstable, and other weird things happen (like the quote thing mentioned before). Guess I’ll have to contact my provider, since they also installed the network adaptor and should have the right driver disks.
Cheers for trying to help, btw!

have you tried downloading the drivers from the internet? (you can find them by googling). also, at least on a windows pc, if you are accessing the internet via an ethernet card / broadband / dsl kind of setup, you (sometimes?) need to remove some other internet protocol for it to work properly. of course I can’t remember which one it is. :o

Michael, I don’t recall removing a quote from the post you mentioned, but I doubt that the problem you have has something to do with the boards’ software as I haven’t experienced nor heard from anyone experiencing the same problem.

On a side note, your post in the Bad Mother thread makes perfect sense to me as it is in reply to the post directly before it, so it is very well possible that either Sarah or myself did remove a quote from your post.

I hope your computer troubles are solved soon! Which access provider are you using?

Just testing here… I changed some setting regarding renewing cookies, I guess part of the problem is solved now.
I tried to quote from the previous post, hopefully it worked now! My provider is @Home btw.
