quote not working right

Post by swanfaerie » Sat Jul 22, 2006 4:55 am

i go to quote someone, and their name isn't in quotations so the quote doesn't work. someone just quoted me and same thing.

i even manually edited my post to include the quotations and it still came up wanky. so i had to remove the op's name to make it work.

wassup?

Tis a puzzlement

It woudl appear that, even with editing and such, that the quote function is not working at it's optimum level.
Could it be rebeling against the heat?


I tried a few things to no avail.

It is now time for the techy folks , or even Deb to assertain where the problem lies and tell the problem to go away :tongue:

it would seem that BUS is removing all quotation marks from recent posts, regardless of weather or not they are included in a string of BBcode.
where's a code monkey when you need one? :wink:

Not working no matter how hard I try either. :o

This wouldn't fix the problem of being able to include the name of the person being quoted, but using the code for colors on the material being quoted might work until we can get the ability to quote properly back again.

To use colors, type: [color= nameofcolor]text you want to be colored[/color]

So what I wrote above would look like this if I typed in my color as blue: text you want to be colored

Note that you can get it to work by not including the persons name - i.e., just [quote] instead of [quote=whoever].

It's also sometimes, but not always, showing a typed or B as a square. I've noticed that in a couple of my posts and one of mian's... And no, it doesn't show quotation marks. there were 4 of them in that sentence, around the 's.

Weird. Or maybe the heat's given us all the same mass hallucination? Not that that would affect Boogie, it's winter for him. :-?

i think the problem may have been caused by some changes i made the other day -- html spaces ( ) were not working properly.

i'll check into it tonight.
