I had to host this on my SmugMug account. Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Edge are all variations of the same. Windows 10 Home 1903/18362

(I've been clicking the "postcard", not the "paperclip", for 15+ years on FT.)
That's because you aren't using the Full CKEditor as your text editor.

What does that mean?

I haven't changed any preferences or settings on FT in at least 10 years.

I hit "Quote" to quote part of a message and reply to it, or I hit "Reply" to type a stand alone Reply. I type in the box and click on the icons that appear when I hit those buttons. Has something changed where clicking on Quote and clicking on Reply are no longer the ways to Quote or Reply to an FT message? Again, it's what I've been doing for years, and the Image dialog box has appeared ever since "enter URL" was replaced with the ability to upload a local image, 3-4 years ago, IIRC.

CKEditor in the FT Search box give "Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.". In the Flyertalk Wiki, it gives "There were no results matching the query."

Google found me

And make sure you have "Full CKEditor" selected (and save at the bottom of the page)
but Find "Full CKEditor" on that page yield "phrase not found"

Hello again, IBJoel. Further to my 'pictures' comments upthread, I've discovered a few more 'inabilities' relating to Mac on FT. They all relate to the interaction between the mouse pointer and on-screen buttons; however, this morning some of them seem to be fixed already!

Add Pictures. Now seems to be working as before ^
Wiki posts. Not opening when "Click here to display Full Wike" ... now working ^
Quick Reply. Was tending to delete all text whilst typing! Further test needed today!
Like. Wasn't working on Mac, but does on iPad. Now working ^

Well done ... please keep it working!!

* Picture added for effect and to test!

]None yet. Keep in mind that no one is in the office during weekends, but I did ask for an update from tech.
It's over a month. Is there any progress? Really annoying when on a slower connection. If you start typing before it reloads the text box it can 1)prevent it from reloading the text box, 2)cause the system not to save everything you typed when hit submit, or 3)work just fine. Very aggravating, even if #3 happens as it sucks on slower connections.

If it is caused by slower connections, there unfortunately isn't much we can do. We have already optimized page element loading with a new software. About how long does the editor hang?

Your misreading what I said. I said the issue is worse on slower connections, not that it only happens on slower connections. The page loads, the text box loads (and if quoting, quoted text loads). The text box then disappears and you have to wait for it to decide to reload. If you start typing before the box disappears and reloads then the text box may not finish reloading.
