as always, this forum continues to provide invaluable life skills

... & to confirm, just selecting part of the text & then the double inverted comma icon works perfectly

With my posts disappearing before being posted and now this I am wondering if this is a battery issue - these Z4's are well known for different faults appearing when the battery gets worn out

[Flyingfifer]

This is still happening, cant ever remember it being a problem before

Still happening.....................................................

Here's a question for you. I know you'll colour it, but entertain me.
Two people stand next to each other - same age, weight, everything. Hell, just for the exercise, let's say the same person, just two of them.
One wears an approved PPE mask. One is vaccinated but wears no PPE whatsoever. I expose them to an aerosol from someone who has Covid and coughs in their direction from 2 metres away.
Who is most likely to catch the virus?

I’m not sure what you are getting at? And how does this address the risk point that was being made? We all know the vaccine does not prevent infection, it is shown to lessen the effects of the virus in many to the point it is not life threatening. So I don’t get the point of your question.

Another weird quote glitch here, it wasnt me that said that

Indeed and most likely the same reason as previously mentioned. SPUTNIK.

Indeed and the most likely the same reason as previously mentioned. SPUNIC.

It isnt, there is something going on behind the scenes, as I have already pointed out for both of the instances that it happened to me I used the "quote" button on the post I wanted to quote, I didnt then alter the automatic coding for the quote in order to make it wrong and I seriously doubt others are doing the same.

I still blame the Russians.

You may have spotted that where I have just been quoted above, the quote is wrong. That one is I guess a buffering issue. Once you grab the previous post to quote it some one else can also edit it in parallel once they grab it. Then it's a matter of who sends it back to the forum first. Not a lot the forum can do about that.

Its happening too frequently for that to be the explanation additionally the most recent example I posted above ProfCJJ commented at like 3am I seriously doubt the person he was quoting was altering their comment 18 hours after it was posted at 3am.

Post ProfCJJ tried to quote:

Its not even like I posted at the same time as Z4C_er creating a sort of overlap in the post number or count, the IDs of the two quotes are:
Correct: post_id=1807327 time=1611740017 user_id=26120
Incorrect: post_id=1807020 time=1611658094 user_id=21658

For clarity I am not some IT illiterate boomer that cant "do the computers" or the "interwebs" I worked in IT for about 10 years accumulatively, have built my own website (years ago now) and build PCs. This isnt user error.

“Insert quote in quick reply” must be to blame because that is what I used on that occasion. I didn’t check that it was attributing the quote to the right person - I assumed that it would!

Apologies once again.

Cheers

No apologies needed, I am 100% sure that its not user error, unless you manually re-coded the user_id and knew what mine is

Just testing, I have manually pasted Buzyg's user_id into the quote

Ok how about just manually changing the quote name but leaving the id's the same...
