Questions about Quote and Profile

[Iddodd]

I would have two technical questions about the Nexus Forums:

 

1. How can I quote?

 

Now, I am aware that there is a "Quote" and a "MultiQuote" button below every post. When I click the "Quote" button, all that happens is that a mouse cursor shows inside the "Reply to this topic" section without a quote. When I click "MultiQuote", the same happens except that then the "MultiQuote" button seems highlighted. I tried to find the topic in the Forums' help section and there it states to "simply click the 'Quote Post Add Reply' button". I do not see such a button. When I click on the "More Reply Options" button, then the Reply section gets a panel with text options like B for bold. In this panel next to the Twitter button there is another quote button in form of a speech bubble. When I click this, it correctly creates a graphical frame for a quote, but it is empty. I would have used this to work around the problem, but I found another problem, which may help identify what is wrong to begin with: I cannot paste (for instance with ctrl-V) in the Forums. The only other potentially useful information I can offer is that I asked around before starting this thread and somebody asked me if I use a Firefox application named "No Script". I do not. I browse with a virgin Internet Explorer.

 

2. How do I keep my Nexus profile from being displayed in every of my posts on the left side underneath my Forums avatar?

 

Thanks in advance.

1. Those two controls, "Quote" and "MultiQuote", are the correct ones. The Nexus software makes extensive use of javascript, sounds like it isn't working at your end. Change your broswer/browser settings. (Since you say you use IE, try FF.)

 

2. Your title/status, and number of posts are the default minimums. (And that's all I see.)

Thanks for the answers. :)

 

If I may ask, though:

 

For the first, since I am not aware to have problems on any other website (granted, I do not post on other websites :) ), which browser settings would I have to look for?

 

For the second, though it is not really important, I somehow thought there was a way to actually have a profile, but then I would keep it from being displayed in every post.

1. IE has evolved in ways (HTML5-compliant ways, I'm not knocking it) that is incompatible with, and results in disabling, some features of some sites (including this one) Try FireFox and see if the problem persists.

 

2. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of your username at the top-left of the window. Choose "My Settings". Add whatever information you'd like to make public. :thumbsup:

 

(Beyond the minimums, people have to choose to see the rest of your profile by clicking on your username/avatar.)

I could never quote, copy and paste or link when using IE with either the Nexus or Bethesda sites only (they both use the same set up). For this reason I've had to abandon my beloved IE and go to Firefox. I'm afraid that you will have to decide, keep IE or go to another browser.

Thanks :)

 

Firefox? Hmm, I will have to wrap my head around that *sigh*
