If I have occasion to quote a sentence or part of, from a post to raise a point, I find that the whole post is reproduced rather than the section I needed. Is this normal now?

I think it's a browser version fault. I also noticed this - I only highlighted the last line of your post but when I hit the quote button it reproduced your whole message. I'm using IE8. I used to use IE6 and had no problem.paulk wrote:les wrote:If I have occasionHighlight the part of the sentance you want then hit the quote buttonles wrote:from a post to raise a point,
