Quotes in replies (Kunena-Forum bugs)

Hi,

I'm having a lot of issues attempting to reply with quote. Mostly this results in my text ending up inside the quote. It's slightly better using source mode but the problems are still there and prevent being able to post a readable reply. I noticed you are using Kunena-Forum, which I'm told has a lot of issues. Any chance of moving to a different platform for the forum? We use Discourse for our Hackspace and it's so much eaiser to use.

Unfortunately it's been like this for a while. We've all just to learnt to work with, editing is the biggest headache, the editor messes up the tags. Not much help I know but it is what it is.

The editor is hideously broken, but I suspect moving the current data  to a different system
would be a world of pain.

OK well thanks for the replies. At least I know I'm not going mad. Well not more than usual .

Yes, I guess the problem would be migrating all the messages. I might ask around as I know someone who's had to do this with other systems.

Meanwhile, I wonder if it might be useful to have a notice on the page. Or maybe on the registration page so new users would get fair warning.

If you click on the quote and cursor over, a symbol will appear on the right side with a red line. click on the symbol and you will be able to type your reply. But don't attempt to edit it!

They'd forget, or more likely not pay attention or just get confused.
Anyway what's life without surprises ?
