I was composing a reply. In a separate browser window, I found the post that answered the question at hand. I copied the answer's url and attempted paste it into my reply, but it didn't work.
I had to click on the HTML button and paste it into the HTML.
Ed,
I do this kind of copy-and-paste of URLs all the time, so I'm thinking something must be different between your setup and mine to account for the different behavior.
What browser are you using? I'm using IE 7.
I'm using IE 7, too.
I tried it again, just now, and it still doesn't work. Niether does my "Delete" key; I have to use "Backspace".
I've rebooted since my original post. (FYI, FWIW)
What did you do when you reformatted your forums? Was this a major update from Community Server, or what?
I do like the new look, but the glitches are a pain. :-)
This was indeed a major version upgrade of Community Server, and we're still working some of the kinks out. Overall, it's provided us with some great features, so I definitely think it was worth it. For instance the ability to mark a post a discussion or question, and the "Suggest as Answer" capability.
When you're posting are you using the "Reply" button or "Quick Reply" they invoke different editors, which is why I ask. Also, are you having trouble with the standard editor, or are you inside of the "Paste from Word" editor? If you can give me an explicit list of steps to reproduce, it will help make sure we're testing the same thing that you are.
Thanks again for the report and your patience as we work through these kinks.

Where's the "Paste from Word" editor? I'm pretty sure I've never used it. ;-)
So taking the "[Infragistics] tag out of your name should ...

Well if it comes to that, I think you'd make an excellent "Fred". ;-)
Ed - I reproduced the quoting problem, it only happens when quoting Infragistics members because we have [Infragistics] note the square brackets in our name. Looks like Community Server needs to add some escaping into their "Quotes"
Thanks for the report! I'll see if there's any way for us to address this short of changing our names.
Tony, Vince,
Please infer the quibble-ish, minutia-ish nature of my quirk reports that I have no major criticisms of the upgrade.
I'm sure you've taken some flack from folks who had grown comfortable with the previous quirk-set, but I prefer the new one.
To quote my next door neighbor's six-year-old, you guys are "da bump!". ;-)
Um, and it looks like I've stumbled onto a malfunction in the Quote funtion.
