plantfit 7,597 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Once again someone has quoted a post I was supposed to have put on that had nothing to do with me,the latest one was Margie quoting me in the hows your day thread. This is baout the fourth time this has happened with posts I never made,is there something wrong with my computer or is there a system fault as this could cause trouble or problems,has anyone else had similar problems?

Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I suspect the problem is ultimately down to finger trouble by the person who makes the "quote". I assume Margie didn't intend this post to appear as it doesn't make any sense. It was a first attempt which went wrong, but somehow ended up being posted anyway. Clicking on the Quote button automatically puts text in the Reply box, but you need to check where your cursor is before you start typing. It might be inside the quote box, and if you start typing without noticing where the cursor is, life gets very complicated. Most weeks I remove several posts which don't make any sense because someone has made a mess of quoting and replying. It's easy to do, and difficult to get out of.
