Inaccurate "quotes"

That’s what I’ve been trying to do but don’t know if this is another new/recent glitch or is longstanding and I’ve just noticed it because I’m trying to use this function

So when I click on your name in that post it gives me 3 options

Refer by username
Reply in PM
Go to profile

If it gives this option you can click the username, pick Refer by username and then paste the message below.

But......... with other posts when you press the username it takes you straight to the persons profile and doesn’t give you the three options or let you use there username. It takes you completely away from the post.

These screenshots are just from the latest posts on the forum, therefore randomly selected. Yours, and the next 2, allowed me to Refer by username, then the third one took me straight to the users profile as demonstrated below

    It isn’t user error :thumbsup:

    Going to try a bit more but on a PC. To be continued...
    When ever it's been pointed out to me that I have done it- it has been when I have been using my phone Mike
    same here!
    That is interesting. I seldom go online on my mobile phone. Almost always from a computer or SIM free tablet.
