Guild Wars 2

While the ANet folks are working on the disappearing quote/edit buttons, here is how I work around the problem.

1. Click on the permanent link for the post you want to quote, for example
   https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/forum/Some-threads-have-no-edit-quote-report-options/first#post128498
2. Edit the URL in your browser to remove first#post and append /quote :
   https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/forum/Some-threads-have-no-edit-quote-report-options/128498/quote
3. Hit enter to go the that URL

If that doesn’t work (it usually does for me) you can copy and paste what you want to quote and use BBCode:
{quote=128498;PosterName}pasted text{/quote}
Replace the braces with brackets – we can disable textile, but not BBCode it seems.

Thank you for this; exactly what I came to the subforum today for.

A report workaround would also be great but i’m not terribly optimistic unless it happens to work the same way :T

It should work the same way, just replace “quote” with “report”. I’ll try it on my post, just in case I can’t cancel it.

I tried replacing “quote” with both “report” and “edit” and they both did what I expected them to do. I was given the option to cancel my report too (whew! )
