Quoting and Private Messages doesn't work
A major step back.
Can't find much excitement here.
Access from full browsers does not work
Quoting is broken, new editor is a mess -we do NOT need DESKTOP PUBLISHIBG EDITOR. PM system broken (...

Hello schumaku ,
I hope you're doing well! Thanks for sharing your feedback. Can you share more details about what you mean by "access from a full browser doesn't work"?
The "quoting content" and "private messaging" features should now be available. You may need to refresh your community to see the update. Can you please confirm if this is fixed for you now?
I look forward to hearing more about the access from a full browser issue.
Kind Regards,
Christine

Not for me. The quote still shows up as empty, unless I copy/paste text, then select it, and then click on the blockquote control.
Also, when I've started with the quote, sometimes the forum sottware isn't letting me put anything underneath the post. My workaound is to put in something underneath what I am quoting, which I then edit after I've done the quote.

Hello schumaku and StephenB ,
Just to close the loop on the "quoting" feature. It appears the platform has been "enhanced". To use the "Quote this" follow the steps below:
- Click Reply
- Highlight as much text as applicable from the original post that you want to quote.
- Click the Quote this Icon that should appear above the highlighted text.
Please confirm if these steps fix the quoting issue.
Kind Regards,
Christine

Click the Quote this Icon that should appear above the highlighted text.That does work, in part. But note that the numbering in your list wasn't included in the quote because it won't highlight. And if I try to add the numbering back with the numbered list button, it is shown as just one item.

It does also work for multiple quotes, and it leaves a line below so one can add additional text. So much improved for me.
