I can't get the "import and edit quote" feature to work at all.
I just tested it.
The feature only works when in chronological view.
Are you trying to use it in the other view?
I always use chronological view. It wasn't working yesterday at all - and I can see something was wrong for others, too, because I wasn't seeing many quotes in posts, whereas I normally see a lot! But it seems to be working fine today.
It wasn't working yesterday, either...which is a pain if you're trying to reply to someone's post on a busy thread--no one knows who you're talking to if you aren't quick enough to post immediately after theirs, ugh.

I really have no idea what this is about and would really like to know

Hi, I'm not a fan of this new feature of quoting and re-quoting the OP's question or comments over and over and over again. It's annoying to scroll through, and is a waste of time and space on the screen. Therefore, I'm all in favor of the new "import and edit" the...

When replying to a forum post, we are given the opportunity to "import and edit the quote." If the comment to be quoted contains an image, only the text below the image will be imported, the image and any text above it is not captured.As long as you're looking at that code anyway, it...
