Reply quote issue

Hey Jdeg everytime I quote a post and then double click on a photo to set its size etc I get all greyed out. This is always when I reply to a post. and never when I just create a post. When this happens I need to refresh the whole page and lose what I have typed, luckily I do not type much.

I have the same problem but only when I try to post a picture and resize it before it's been posted. When I do an edit after the post it's OK. I suspect it has to do with Mac but can't prove it for sure.

I'd love to see this solved too.

I do not get the chance to edit it, I need to reload the page and start fresh.

No, I meant when I post a picture, I have to post the thumbnail and then go back to edit the posted picture. Otherwise, if I try to change the size I get the grey screen too and have to reload and retype and re-enter the picture...

What browser is this with? And does it only do it when you quote a post? What happens if you click on Go Advanced? Does it happen there?

If I quote someone and then provide a picture I cannot double click it to enlarge it, if I do then I am left with no choice but to reload the webpage and start from scratch. Oh and while we are at it, if we add photos below each other and then they get all mixed up unless we space bar and enter them to the right position. This never used to be the case! What happened?

I see this happening now, but I don't quite understand why. It's a bug in the text editor code. I'll have to look into it further later.

For me John, it does it with Safari and Chrome. I wonder if it could be a ISP thing but don't understand how it could.

​It is somewhat intermittent though... More fun to un-bug.

Tried normal and this is what I get. I have to reload and go advanced.

Scott, this is what I get to and maybe I haven't explained what I do.

Insert the picture, then post quick reply BEFORE TRYING TO RESIZE PICTURE. After the post shows up with the thumbnail, click on edit post, then double-click the image and you should be able to resize it. This is what works for me. If I try to resize in the reply original box, it just stalls.

I have the same problem and solution with my PC so not just a Mac issue
