Editing Quotes ...

Can anyone tell me how to highlight sections of text in quoted posts? I've tried to select the portion of text in order to make it bold, italic, underlined etc but the WHOLE text is selected each time. This works in virtually every other forum I visit but not in here.

Just testing, as it's always worked for me.

Worked fine. Just mark the text then choose B I or U.

I think HPW's bug may have got to you now.

Works Ok for me but I am still in the dark ages - Desktop PC - Windows Vista - and use mouse, dragging the cursor from start point to end point, to highlight areas of text where the existing font is to be changed or highlighted.

Yes, and it's just worked for me too ............................... in Google Chrome, on both my machines, but it doesn't work on either of them in Firefox.

Do either of you (CL and Eggy) use Firefox, or were your posts made from a different browser?

Google Chrome - no longer supported with Vista, but I'm sticking with it for the life of my PC, now 8 years old.

Thanks.

So it seems like it may be a Firefox issue then. It may be one of my Firefox extensions causing the problem though, and not a fault with the browser itself.
