I have quoted but it won't show properly.

Is the BBcode wonky?

No, you need to enclose the quote url in a url tag .i.e.

quote

See...

Now look at the code I used by replying to me OR read the BBCode Tags you can use by pressing the Show button

Uh, confusion.

So, hopefully this link will work
it is post 3402 on the thread

I am used to quoting and using other bbcodes on the forums but it did not work correctly, although I entered the correct fields, in this peculiar incidence.

To most users it will simply appear that I did not end the quote but I did, it simply has not registered in the final post.

It's the extra quotation marks in "Jeslara "Jessa" Eventide" that's throwing off the bbcode code. I'll add fixing that to the todo list. For now, replace the double quotes around "Jessa" with single quotes and it'll display properly. (I've done that for the post in question.)

Mmm. We used to encounter that a lot in software development when using escape characters in windows. Caused us UNIX programmers headaches when using MS DOS. Didn't notice the " character in the URL, my bad.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was a system problem that was happening here.

Thankyou, Gary,

It's an easy one to fix as I go.
