    Bugs and Issues based on the Last Update

    We have been made aware of the fact that there are bugs in the forums, including, but not limited to, the quote feature is not working for some people. We are working to address the bug issues, but we have currently limited wifi capacity so it might be a bit of time. If you have noticed any other weird things occurring, please post them here so we have a centralized place to reference quickly. Limit this ONLY to bugs and issues you have experienced in the last couple of weeks. We already know about the quote issue being buggy. Any more?

    I don’t know if it’s to do with bugs and I don’t know how long it’s been going on but the stars beneath our names aren’t working? It’s not important but I thought I’d mention it in case it’s a connected to something.

      The home link seems to have broken too - rather than leading to either the forum homepage or the main landing page, it
      leads to a blank casebook.org page

        I don’t know if this helps, but I think the issue with the quote feature is somehow connected to the “restore post” function. If you write a post and preview it but don’t actually post it before logging off, a copy of it is kept and you’re later given the option to “restore” or “delete it.” If you don’t choose either one of those options, but just let the post hang around in limbo, you won’t be allowed to use the quote feature again until you’ve deleted your old“non-posted” post. At least that’s what I’ve noticed.

          Thank you! That does help as it gives us something to look at, but we currently think it is a new feature/bug in the software that we won't be able to change.

          As a work around, if you select "quote" on a thread and it doesn't put the quoted text into the reply box, if the Quote link lights up orange, scroll to the top of the page and hit Post Reply and that should put the quote in.
