Default A bug?

In the "Other models Pontiac Tech" forum, the 'Quote' of a prior post isn't working for me. When I click on 'Quote' I'm taken to the general 'Reply' routine. 'Quote' still works fine for me in the other forums.

Hi Jack
I don't seem to be having a problem in that section but maybe I'm not understanding what you are experiencing. Anytime I click one of the quote buttons, it opens the usual Reply to Thread screen but includes the post I chose to quote inside quote tags. Do you usually get something different or is it not adding the quoted post to the reply field?

Steve- thanks for looking.
I'm talking about clicking on the "Quote" icon- the one with the feather-pen. Instead of being presented with the complete text of the post, I just get a blank 'reply' screen.

Edit: I now see that it's just one particular thread in that forum- the 1931 Pontiac thread. But it seems to be true of all posts to that thread.

Steve- this problem is different than I thought. It turns out that when I click on 'Quote' in that particular thread, the resulting 'Reply' screen is about eight times as wide as my monitor! So the window appeared to be blank, until I dragged the image way to the left and discovered that the 'Quote' image had been way off-screen to the right. I have no idea how that can happen?

Edit: Okay, I guess this is the deal- post#60 (page 3) of that thread contains a photo that's about a mile wide!

Sorry to trouble you...
