Quoting bug

I have issues with the Quote button. It qoutes just the main (first) post of the thread, disregarding what comment I'm replying to. In some cases it works, but I can't understand clearly why&when it happens.

I've just noticed that the quoting works properly when there are already some replies to other comments.

upd. Windows 10, Opera browser (if it matters)

i can see why this should have been removed from the "bug" forum, but i guess someone didn't think this qualified as an "idea'. not sure i agree with that.

BUGS & IDEAS are unthreaded by design. I assume it's to ensure compatibility with Adobe Employee's internal tracking systems.

Unthreaded topics give topmost priority to the original post which is what the quoting system is based on. Long story short, I don't expect this to change unless they decide to change BUGS & IDEAS to a threaded system which probably won't happen.

That is normal and expected behavior in unthreaded boards like BUGS & IDEAS where the first post has top priority.

You can copy & paste content or the person's screen name from the post you're replying to. However, BUGS and IDEAS are primarily used by Adobe employees. They're not meant for elaborate discussions. If you want to carry on a discussion, use the Discussion boards instead. Use BUGS & IDEAS sparingly for reporting purposes only.

I see no reason to cut down the functionality in any part of the forum.

p.s. smb has moved the topic to Discussions to "fix" the issue? LOL

As it is not a bug, it can be in discussions or ideas. But giving the advanced discussion here, you should post an idea as a new post.

BTW: the very first releases of this forum had no quoting, so any quoting system is an advancement. But I find it difficult to use quoting as I want to use it: quote question - answer question - quote next question. Often I go to HTML editing, to edit the quotes structure. It's working on my desktop, but not well on my iPad.

Other systems have different issues, so, it's what it is...

another bug here on the forum is quoting

when I try to reply to someone's comment with a quote, I get a quote of my own post

A second thing I do is to copy and paste a relevant line. It take less time than clicking quote and then deleting most of a very long post that includes several pictures.

@jane-e, kglad made 8 comments already, if I just tag, how anyone guess what exact comment I'm replying to? to me that's a bug 🙂 you "cheated" with the code, but it's an extra time-consuming step

@jane-e, thanks for that bit of information. I did not know that Bugs and Ideas didn't get threaded and that all replies were to the original poster.

You're welcome, KGlad and Lin Sims! In addition, you can edit the HTML code before posting to simulate a reply in Bugs and Ideas. 😊

It is not a bug, Ivan, it's intentional. You tagged your post here as a bug, which it is not.

Bugs and Ideas are not threaded and all replies go to the first post.
Discussions are threaded, although they can be sorted by chronological order. Replies go to the post you reply to.

When you need to tag someone, type the @ symbol and then choose or type the name of the user.
