    I used to be able to quote the messages I was replying to, now I can't seem to do that.
    I can still reply to a message, only it doesn't contain any quoted text from the original message.

    What have I broke or what am I now doing wrong?

    If you hit reply in between like and share in a post it will quote the text in the post in which you hit reply.

    If you just type in the reply box without hitting reply you get no quote.

    What would be very useful (it's an option in Gmail) would be for the Reply function to quote only highlighted text from the original post.

    OK I've figured out what is happening.

    I use two different computers. One is a Windows 8 machine and the other is a Windows 8.1 Evaluation machine.

    The Windows 8.1 does NOT produce the quoted text although the Windows 8 does.

    You can edit the quoted text in the reply box to focus on a specific section (or remove a wall of pictures). Not quite as slick, but it accomplishes the same thing.

    Yeah, I do that all the time - as in my previous post - but the highlight method would be faster and simpler.

    I second the observation that 'reply' does not properly quote the text under Windows 8.1.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    This issue is Internet Explorer specific. I have the same problem, using IE11.
    Works in Google Chrome and Firefox.
