I can’t seem to get the quote or multi-quote functions to work properly. Is it just me or is there something going on with the board? 😕 ---

Isn’t there a new thread about the AMA or someone saying multiquotes are not good for you after all? ---

Sometimes they do not work for me, but most of the time they do. Here, and Customers Suck - haven’t noticed it on any other board thought, perhaps it is the version of vBulletin? ---

I have been having intermittent quote problems for about 6 months, and have mentioned it in several threads in ATMB. Briefly, sometimes when I select quotes or multiquotes and then open the edit window, the quotes do not show up. Sometimes I will compose a post, hit preview, and all the content is deleted in the edit window when the preview is shown. There is some buffer issue I have not been able to narrow down. I was trying to see if it was a case where I selected multiquotes over some time length, but it happens if I pick a single quote and open the reply window. I’ve tried going back and retriggering the quotes (toggling off/on), but that doesn’t work. If it didn’t load the quotes for that thread, it won’t load them when I retoggle. It is not a consistent problem, it doesn’t happen every time, but it does happen frequently. Sometimes I’m forced to manually code the quotes like the old days. ---

This describes the problem exactly. Working again for the moment, obviously. . . 😛 ---
