Blank Quotes

[Archer he/him]

Sorry if this has already been asked at some point.

Sometimes when I quote a post someone has made, when I add it to my post it will be blank. It will still say 'person said at this time' and have a quote box, but it will be empty as if nothing was written. It's happened to me on both mobile and pc. Why does this happen? Is it something going wrong on my end, or is this just a quirk of the website?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Do you have any links to examples of this happening?

The forums won't nest quote boxes; if you're quoting something that itself was quoting something else, the original quote will disappear.

Thanks! It looks like the quote boxes were the issue in posts like this

Huh. That's very bizarre. I do not know why that would be happening and that is not a thing I have encountered before.

For the record, I can definitely confirm that this is what happens if I quote a post with only a quote box. It disappears, which is what Pagerunner mentioned.
