We are back. Sorry about the disastrous nightmarish disaster that was a nightmarish disaster. Mostly everything is back to normal, unfortunately in the disaster we lost a couple of weeks of forum activity.
The issues with quoting in the new post editor are apparently a bug which is being looked at. The workarounds are as I mentioned in the other thread where it was first brought up, i.e. click the arrow on the red frame that surrounds the quote, or enter source editing (click the source button top left of the editor).
It is also possible that we cannot return to the old post editor and will have to keep this one.
Due to the recent bug in the forum update, I have changed the default for the forum to display the index page instead of the recent topics page. The recent topics is still accessible by clicking on the recent topics option in the menu bar.
