Anyone seen this issue before?

I had it the other day after I'd edited a post.

Refreshing the page seemed to resolve it.

@Bridlington1 are you referring to missing poster's names on the posts?

@MSE_Stephen I have ploughed through nearly half the pages in this thread in the hope that someone may have mentioned "WHY can't I Preview my posts?" It may have been mentioned in subsequent pages but I've no intention of wasting my time further with this. I guess it's not been mentioned as it's not been turned on if it's a feature that does exist, or more likely it's another "feature" that doesn't exist

IF one cares to attempt the now unacceptable complexities of quoting, when you want to have multiple individual selected quotes of a post, so you can address the points raised individually after each quote, it's imperative you can preview the post to ensure one's got it right!

As a result I can see I shall likely be spending even less time on the forum than I have of late seeing if I can help others with some issues.

This used to be an excellent forum but it's "lost" far too many excellent users in the last 12 months or so.

🤬🤬🤬 That should convey my annoyance without having to use "unprintable" words.

I have no idea why the paragraphs in my post above appear as though they seem to be quotes!

Yet another garbage "feature" of this editor.

@Phones4Chris the box where you type your reply is effectively the preview. The live post should look exactly the same as the way it looks in the box as you type it out (pending no bugs of course!). At least that’s how it’s working for me.

If no longer being able to see multiple quotes is affecting you too, I've registered this issue on the Rich Editor Feedback page, if you'd like to upvote it. It's at the bottom of the linked page, title of the issue is: "Quotes - can't see multiple ones".

Hyperlinks not being created as standard when you paste in a URL is also irksome, I can remember to take the extra step to create a hyperlink but other forum members are either oblivious or not bothering. That can only be a backwards step.
