Works fine on Opera (V. 12), MSIE (no idea what version is on my work computer) and Firefox (V. 19).
No idea what all the screaming really is about.
Also, one point that might help: you can switch between text only and html by hitting this button on top left of the area with all the buttons displayed on top of the post you're writing:
If you hit that, you'll just have the text and you'll see the [ quote ] [ / quote ] displayed ... might be easier to figure things out that way. You can switch back by hitting that button again and will see if your editing worked out alright.
As Mr. Ayers stated in some other thread where all this was previously discussed (in good ol' Org tradition, it was off-topic there ), you can also just go into the boxes, hit the enter button and quotes are split up: No Yes Sure seems so. I hear what you're sayin' Now what I don't know is why the size of the text get's supersized in some of these lines I added ... the board does that automatically, but I guess I could manually change it again, but then that's really not worth it, is it?
