Guild Wars 2

On most topics, I don’t see the icons to quote (or even report) other posters.
I only see the link one.

I am logged in, the topics ain’t closed.

I’ve had a similar issue. Quoting only shows up on certain topics for me. It’s a bit random, and it’s a bit frustrating.

Likewise, I am frequently finding that of the buttons that are ordinarily in the bottom-right of a post — edit, quote, delete, report, permalink — only the permalink button is displayed. The other functions still work, as I have had success utilizing the workaround below. They are just not displayed.

A workaround for now:

Copy the permalink (chain link button) for the post in question, and then add “/quote” to the end of it. For example, the permalink for the above reply is

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/forum/Why-can-t-I-quote-other-people-on-the-forum/187489

so if I change it to

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/forum/Why-can-t-I-quote-other-people-on-the-forum/187489/quote

then this goes to the reply page with that post quoted.

You can do the same thing with “/report” and “/edit” when those buttons are unavailable.

Thanks Aseyhe, I’ll try that.
