Can quote replies but not first post in a thread

[Chuck]

For some months I have not been able to 'quote' or 'reply' to the #1 message in a thread, the 'quote' and 'reply' links are missing but I can 'report' and 'like'. This only applies to #1 post, the subsequent messages allow me to both quote and reply in the expected manner.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I use a Mac (Apple Silicon / Ventura / Safari) but it doesn't seem likely that this is the cause of the problem.

Quote and reply are missing for me, but I can stil reply in the box below the first post.

(P.C with Firefox)

Thanks. I can also use the box, but it doesn't facilitate the ability to quote that I seek.

Oh well, worse things happen at sea...

Yep, your first post has no quote or reply button.

Well that is strange! Is it still doing it?

Afaik, it is. Edit: attached screenshot, unless this is because of user not approved?

Yes. Affects just the first post by both new and long-standing members.

I have this problem. I received a reply from Chuck to my first post, but when using Reply I get an error message "Your content can not be submitted. This is likely because your content...".
Any thoughts on how I can submit my reply?
Thanks
