BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Suddenly unable to "quote" other posts

**Posted by KeepersPrice** July 1, 2014 11:47 pm

Is anyone else getting this? When I try to quote someone's post, add my own comments, and hit the submit button, my post won't send and I get this error message:

The BBCode syntax in the message is incorrect. Spoiler tags may not contain quote or code tags.

Just started happening. Have I done something wrong? How can I fix it?

I had the same problem yesterday, too. It was a double quote and only worked after I erased the "inner" quote.

Yes, I have the same problem when I try to quote double quotes.

Now that you are mentioning it, I have the same problem.

Just wrote a message to the helpdesk.

That error message makes it sound like you're quoting inside spoiler tags - is that the case?

No, it's not.

The same thing happened to me a few times I responded to someone´s quote.

I have the same when I want to do double quote - I try to send anything and I see a warning that something with quotes is wrong, but when I check everything is fine.

Glad to know it's not just me and my computer. Susi will get to the bottom of this, I'm sure. Yay for the moderators!

This is a test.

Looks like it's working.

I have this problem again. Also I can't edit my own posts. Anybody else?

**Posted by Schmiezi** August 4, 2014 11:15 am

Me, but only with some quotes.

I wanted to quote gently on the fanfic rec thread and couldn't, but it would have been possible to quote Wholocked on the same thread.

Working for me, I think...
