That I cannot find a solution to.

Not sure he can. I ran into this 'bug' some time back after installing an updated FireFox and some new programs... the quote feature won't run. Also ran into this at the local library's computers as well and they also use the newest version of Firefox.

Same here. Not sure exactly what the issue is/was myself.

I have found the solution for Ticket Price Assistant. Enter edit-mode in Tampermonkey and change the website from http to https, then it works.

I wonder if that is the issue for VPB in Firefox: http -> https.

The quote button is Javascript. You can verify this yourself by inspecting the element or looking at the page source:

Near the top of the page source, you'll also notice this line:

The forum_thread.js script provides the reply() method called when you click the quote button.
Originally posted by
function reply(id) {
var content = $('post_content_' + id).innerHTML;
var user = $('user_name_' + id).innerHTML;

content = content.replace(/.*\<\/span\>/gim, '');
content = reply_replace(content);

if (content.replace(/\n|\r/g, '').length) {
if (document.all) {
if (content.match(/\[\/QUOTE\]/)) {
$('reply_box').value += 'Originally posted by ' + user + '
' + content + "\n\n";
}
else {
$('reply_box').value += 'Originally posted by ' + user + '
' + content + "\n\n";
}
}
else {
$('reply_box').value += 'Originally posted by ' + user + '
' + content + "\n\n";
}
}
else {
var content = $('post_content_' + id).innerHTML;
content = content.replace(/\<span class=\"?quote\"?\>Originally posted by \<b\>([^\<]*)\<\/b\>/gim, "Originally posted by $1
");
content = content.replace(/\<\/span\>/gim, "");
content = reply_replace(content);
$('reply_box').value += 'Originally posted by ' + user + '
' + content + "\n\n";
}

window.scrollBy(0, 50000);
$('reply_box').focus();
}

You can verify that excerpt by viewing the entire script at http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/javascript/game/forum_thread.js.


If reply() isn't working for you, it's either because your browser isn't processing Javascript or you've modified it in some way. If you say that you have Javascript enabled, then obviously we look at what you're running in TamperMonkey. If you can link me to what you're running, I'll check it out.

The reason why I told you to enable Javascript was because I didn't imagine that you were installing Tampermonkey on your "local library's computers".

Most libraries lock their computers down quite a bit -- often to the point of disabling Javascript (let alone the installation of third-party extensions).

Yeah, I figured that was the case so I just don't do quotes from there. Had to work from there when the internet (meaning phone) got fried by lightning a while back. Was frustrating.

Why then, since we’re discussing quoting, can I not quote from my iPhone?

The first thing to check would be your Javascript settings in whatever browser you're using.

If the quote button doesn't work for you, chances are the report button also doesn't work -- they're both using Javascript.

Use the pabst version of VPB and set the http to https, then it works for me.

Probably because Steve Jobs assumed Apple users would make up their own truth and not bother quoting anyone.

sometimes it works on my firefox sometimes not.
for many seasons it would work up until off-season, then nada until next season
lately its been working consistently for whatever reason, so i'm not gonna mess with it again
that's my best advice, if you get it to work don't mess with it and don't do updates lol

Sometime ago, I upgraded my Firefox (I think they ask you to upgrade about every other week) and a lot of stuff stopped working. Plenty of forum chat about re-installing the older versions to fix... I did... it fixed... so I've been running this ol' 2011 version since then without any problems.
