Any reason why when I click "Reply" to a previous submission that the body is full of HTML code?

See below:

<p>
<table width="98%" align="center" cellspacing="1" style="border:1px solid #486090;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td cellpadding="3px" style="background-color:#486090; font-weidht:bold; color:white;">Hal Proctor wrote:</td></tr>

<td cellpadding="3px" style="background-color:#486090; font-weidht:bold; color:white;">Quote:</td></tr>
<tr>
<td cellpadding="10px" style="background-color:#FFFFB0;">removed the thing and the other thing....added this and that!</td>

Here is my logbook config:

[Logbook]
Theme = default
Comment = Maintenance Logbook
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Shift
Options Type = Repair, Routine, Preventative, Other
Options Category = Emergency, General, Change-Over, Other
Options Shift = 1, 2, 3
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = Maint Log - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Quick filter = Date, Type, Category

I don't see any mistake in the configuration file. Did you switch the "Encoding" from HTML to plain? (Radio buttons at the bottom just below the text window). Is there a problem with your FCKEditor? Do you see the formatting menu bar? 

 I do not get the formatting menu with HTML.  I switched to plain and code still exists.  The only formatting menu I get is when I choose ELCode.   I have no problem with this forum seeing the formatting menu with HTML (although it does take some time to load). 

 Tested it in Chrome and acts the same as IE8 (just much slower)

Hi there,

It seems that by default in a message created as "reply" of another message, the "quoted text" of the original entry is put at the _TOP_ of the new entry and not movable (Firefox 17, elog 2.92). I would strongly like to have it opposite, i.e. that one is able to create a new text first and only then has the "quoted text" since people are interested to see a new information and only then the previous messages as sort of "reminder". It was like this in older (2.6?) version but now I did not find how to change this default behavior. Did I miss something?

Cheers

Valentin

I use plain encoding, cannot answer for the others but it should do the trick as it's in the documentation.  I'm using Firefox some large number and 2.9.2.-2475

I do what I believe you want, and get it by having the following line in my config file for that logbook (which is part of elog.cfg):

 Prepend on reply = \n

This gives a blank line at the "top" of the entries when you start a reply, and all the previous entries gain another "> " unless you've also altered that default behaviou (as in fact I have).  The result then looks like:

Latest line of text

> Previous entry

> > Previous entry to that
