Let me walk you through the steps I am taking and maybe you can tell what I am doing wrong

1. Left button highlight text
2. Right button copy funtion
3. Right button paste function in reply window

This inserts the text. I have been having to manually add the quote and unquote backets.

I have attempted to left button highlight the text in the reply box and use the quote botton and no brackets are inserted.

I have attempted to use the quote button with the text unhighlighted.

Neither way works.

What am I not doing right?

Having to add the quote brackets manually is kind of pain considering there is supposed to a function that will do it for me.

If you can successfully highlight the text in the reply window, and pressing the quote button () doesn't add the quote tags, then the problem is on your end and is most likely a Java or Active-X problem (functions not turned on or outdated).
