You have deleted one of the "end quote" tags from the post you were trying to quote. Because you were copying a quote within a quote, there should have been two "begin quote" tags, and two "end quote" tags. (The "end quote" tag is the one with the backslash.) There needs to be one "end quote" for each "begin quote," or it won't display properly.

Hope this helps! Very Happy


Same thing here--your post read as code, but when copied with the quote button, displays correctly.

Ok, so it's just some weird quirk? I get that a lot in life.
Sometimes amazing things happen. Usually, if something happens,
it's some pain in the neck.

I'll try again. I do know some html.
