But how was my post not quoted properly, I thought I previewed it a NUMBER of times!
You had an unclosed quote that put your added comments inside of Jeremy's quoted box.
Your original post looked like this:
Unless I'm more confused than I might be normally, I am NOT replying to SOMEONE ELSE'S post if I'm previewing a post I'm initiating!
Oh, I see it now. Can you create a ticket for this so that it's not forgotten?
[grumble; trying to shake salt out of wounds caused by paper cuts from..."tickets"]
ok, I'll try to get a "ticket"
Uh, maybe I was again unclear: in your post above your edit is not preceded by:
<edited at xx:xx o'clock universal time>
And that's what I meant: an indication of an edit IN THE BODY OF THE POST ITSELF; sorry if I was unclear again.
Your edit may be that you add the letter t to the word ea to make it eat. How would you notate that in the actual body of the message?
gotta admit, I presumed most edits would be MORE than something like that, so maybe more like:
put the <edited: [timestamp]> at the very end of the post?
Thanks, I really thought I'd taken care of all of stop/start quote tags, sorry 'bout that, and thanks again for fixing it!
