    Because you are thick.


    Next question please
  • Mine is always highlighted BBCode at the bottom and it doesn't do anything.

    My quoting has stopped working, not been working for 3 months, since I got an i-phone in fact, would that have anything to do with it? Before anyone asks, yep, BBCode is ticked.

    Quoting doesn't work via my iPhone either, I think AFKA and Lookie should sort out an app just for all us iPhone users :-)

    Two general points:

    1. As said, underneath the text box you type in, check 'Format comments as' is clicked on BBCode.

    2. On the left-hand panel, just above 'Who's online', it should say 'Text-only mode is OFF' . If it is switched to ON, then change it back.


    Other than that, there is no reason quotes don't work unless you have some issue with your browser. Or your thick.

    Nope, not unless you copy the text from the previous page, quote someone from the page you are on and then paste over that text (and change the username).

    Bit longwinded really.
