I recently had an update of Microsoft Internet Explorer carried out and ever since then I can't use the reply function to quote a post and react upon any longer.

Any copy past of text won't work either.

SDoes this sound familiar to others?

I am also still using IE and I haven't been able to quote posts for a long time, I also haven't been able to post images for months. I think we are considered dinosaurs for still using IE.

To just reply, click the light-switch icon (top left) of the reply box then you should be able to type into the box.

To quote a post...
Click 'quote' in the original post.
When the (empty) box appears click the light-switch icon (top left)
Scroll back up to the original post and click 'quote' again.
The quote should now appear in the box

This was a hidden feature in the last forum software update foisted upon us.
