I recently had a second occasion where I prepared a reply to a post, with a guote, and the quote disappeared when I posted. Here’s the thread.

It started normally, like this:
and ended up looking like this:
To fix it, I had to re-quote the section of the post in a new ‘reply’, cut it and cancel the reply, edit my original post and paste it in.
Testing quoting you…
EDIT: Assuming aliens took your quote.
I do know that sometimes if I edit what’s inside the quote, that it throws it away because of some weird formatting filter or something.
The absolute horror of quotes disappearing…aaahhh never mind it’s a FREE website anyway!
BD, I have noted the disappearance of a selected quote myself and have come to the thought it seems to occur if I am the next responder to the posting. This puts the quoted text directly below the text quoted. I quoted some of your reply to see if it would happen on this post
I have seen it as well. When posted it shows that the post has been edited and the quote removed.
I’m testing this idea…
EDIT: Interesting…
Testing with just a short quote…
Perhaps it has been fixed? 
It doesn’t happen always, so there’s something else causing it. I’m glad to hear I am not alone . . .
Well, it just happened again. The post above had Bruce’s post quoted, as does this one as I type it, but then the page refreshed and the quote showed for a 1/2 second and then my text rolled up on the screen and the quote disappeared.
And that is how it happens here.
Looks like it happened to you
I’m guesssing 
It’s always or 
You left out terrorists! They are ALWAYS editing stuff…
Bump for post count and staying on topic!
Not my stuff. I have good passwords.
Does this help? If you hit the “Red/ok orange Pen” it might tell you why Pete.
Shawn V always hated the red pen but that is what happens when you marry a school teacher!
What/where is a red/ok orange pen?
Edited to find the pen.
It isn’t always Orange. Could be black, but find it in the upper right hand corner of a post that has been edited. Clicking on it shows you what’s been edited.
