      How do you quote someone on SW anymore?

      You have to reload the page like ten times. Their site has been broken for months, like six months, and quotes almost never work.

      I can't even open it in Firefox. Chrome seems to work "ok" but no edit options.

      Yup, same here. If I try enough times and do the right procedure it works, but I waste a ridiculous amount of time just attempting to respond. All of the time is spent fighting the site, not actually writing anything.

      I had to go in and directly edit the HTML to be able to quote. I had to find an old post of mine that had a working one so I could get the correct tags. They don't have markdown yet? 🤦

      Not as far as I can find. I also have to hold "shift + enter" to be able to have paragraphs. The basic editor doesn't have working paragraphs.

      The right side of the text box isn't even there. I have no editor until I actually reply, and then edit my reply.

      I got the email that you had posted. But then clicked on it and your reply wasn't there. I can't even respond, let alone quote. The site is definitely struggling. It's Wednesday evening, doesn't seem like a peak time.

      I just got ANOTHER email that you had posted, and nothing there again.

        They work perfectly fine for me on Windows or Mac using Firefox.

        It has never worked on mobile views.

        I'm trying Firefox or Chrome. Haven't had it work smoothly in months. Maybe in December it was still okay, can't really recall. It's been brutal for some time. I can literally spend five minutes or more trying to get a working reply window. And anytime that I do about fifteen seconds later it grabs the cursor and moves it and causes me to have to correct what was being typed and reposition the cursor.

        Well worked was Friday. Have not been on since I do not think.

          Perhaps to deal with volume they have moved to an async database approach and the US database and the EU database are not quite at the same place so I'm getting the emails from the US before the database in the EU catches up?

            Chrome -> Nope
            Brave -> Nope
            IE -> Eats paste
            Edge is the only thing that will bring it up and it is slow.

              I've been trying to respond since we started talking about this. Can't respond at all.

                    If I were to hit reply, it takes forever to load the next screen.

                      I replied to a post a minute ago and it is still loading and reformatted my post.

                      This isn't going to last long. Are we seeing the last throws of SW?

                        Like I said, what you are seeing is how the site has been for me for months. I think they are just having a database issue or something.

                          I know that they did a community update last week or so. If this is because of that, then...¯\(ツ)/¯

                                    I just noticed that I've not received emails from SW in quite some time. Must be a lot of people giving up on posting.

                                          Maybe it is one bad server?

                                            Could be, maybe one server in an application pool is flailing.
