Ah, thank you Smiling Dave, but surely there is a better, quicker way than even that to quote people. What is this blue-colored word “Quote” that I see for?
That blue colored word “Quote” which doesn’t work is a reminder that computers are silently, stealthily, creepily, trying to drive us mad and take over.
If it worked, I’m pretty confident it would only do what I suggested… turn the quote=false to quote=true in the URL, which would just make the quoted post appear.
What are you trying to do, exactly? I may be able to help you better if I understand what you’re looking to do more clearly. 
And thank you ladyphoenix for the tip (although it does seem time-consuming to me). I’m not going to quibble over it though. It’s a small trade-off for such a wealth of information.
ladyphoenix, First, preferentially I would rather see all of the pertinent information related to quoting within the immediate area of the quote itself, not at the top of the window. Second, I don’t understand why it is necessary to delete some info just to replace it with other info when quoting. It’s more movement and steps than what seems should be necessary. However, I am not a software engineer or programmer so there may very well be good, sound reasons why the current setup is the way it is. Like I said, It’s a small trade-off for what I am getting in return. No worries. Thanks again.
I second this, very frustrating! The only thing I’ve been able to do to get around it was up in the address bar change “&Quote=False” to “&Quote=True” after clicking on “reply” next to the post I wanted to reply to. Or just typing out my own codes. Fortunately my profession is a web developer so I can get around having to type in CSS/HTML etc.
I totally understand, and as far as I know, there’s no “good” reason why it doesn’t do this. From what I understand, it’s a bug… that it is intended to be such that the word “quote” you referred to is supposed to make the text of the post you hit “reply” on appear in the box. I don’t know why it doesn’t do this by default, though. I would think that hitting reply on a specific post would indicate that I want to quote that thread…
Hopefully it’s a little easier for you now, though.
Me too. This is why it doesn’t cause me all that much grief.
Hello again!
Didn’t get an answer to this the last time and it’s doing it all again, so I’m going to bump with a self-quote…
The bug is that this particular thread seems to be lagging far behind in the number of pages being displayed on the “Active Topics” page and the main forum page. Rather than show the 19th page, it simply shows page 7. Now, it is not the case that this simply got up to page 7 and stopped, because this thread has always been behind (I’ve been following it intently). When it had only four pages, the front page and the “Active Topics” page reflected that there were only two pages.
Right now, it’s occurring with this thread:
https://forum.freecapitalists.org/t/so-rothbard-is-okay-with-taking-government-money/17809 - So Rothbard is okay with taking government money?
There are at least six pages and right now it’s only showing three. This has been lagging since the addition of page two as far as I can tell.
It is not occurring in this thread
https://forum.freecapitalists.org/t/must-see-movies/9012 - Must See Movies, which displays and actually has five pages.
If this has been addressed before, tell me to shut up and I will. Thanks.
Typo, no space. First para - he a posterioriempirical approach
Just about to share the article is all with some non-Austrian’s via fb, so will get some folks reading it.
To add another problem, the search engine on this forum is not working properly,
I don’t think it ever did. What’s wrong with it?
I think DV deleted the search index a year or so ago to solve an issue with the database crashing.
We definitely need a ‘go to last unread post’ button.
The www.mises.com domain is not working. Before, it used to direct me straight to the Mises Community Page. Now it gives me the following error message: “The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.”
On the other hand, having to remember what post I read last has improved my memory skills.
Can’t edit some posts. I get the
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Forum has been extremely slow last few days. May be me, anyone else having problems?
Not slow but lot of contents missing (list of private discussions, avatar, firend list etc).
Yea i lost my avatar had to revert back to the default ones or my posts were going all stretched.
I think the slowness was my end. Seem to have fixed it now.
