Do you get this error when using the "QUOTE" button or the "Quick Reply" at the bottom of the thread?

Moe,, I just got a PM from Lazydog

Sorry for sending a PM to you but I cannot reply to the above thread and answer techieMoe's question. Was wondering if you could reply for me please?

I can hit "Quote Reply" or just "Reply to post" neither of them work for me. I don't use "Quick Reply"

Yes I read the above replies I was just checking. This is being posted using Quick Reply __________________ Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time. Linux User #296285 Get Counted
