Am I just being stupid or is there no quote button on this new version of things? The button that has a picture of quotes is [ offtopic ][ /offtopic ]. I know that the correct code is [ quote ][ /quote ] but I admit (fully) to being lazy sometimes.

Funny, I've been using those quotes and they don't say 'offtopic' for me.Rowan wrote:Am I just being stupid or is there no quote button on this new version of things?

Or maybe you use quotes some other way?
Oh, I see--it's when you are actually in the composition frame. I always pick what I want to quote by choosing the little quotations when I'm on the post I'm quoting. The limitation of this is that I can only quote one person at a time. Well, now I know how to do it the other way.

Re: Quote button
That's very weird. I wonder why it comes up as offtopic for me.....

Off Topic
