Attribution Of Quotes Bug?

[wonkynutz]

Hi guys, just noticed in "The Great Atheism Piefight" that Kozeyekan quoted Hungryhippo and I but somehow the attributions came out arse about. It's on page 17.

Don't think he would have tried to do this on purpose and can't see how he could anyway. Possible software glitch?

Not sure what your getting at dude...

Sounds like he mis-quoted the wrong post, is that what you mean? or something else?

Ok, he quoted Hungryhippo and I using the standard quote feature. The funny thing is that the note that gives the source,date and time

at the top of the quote frame (when it comes up in the final post) was arse about in this case.

Hippo's quote came up as being originally posted by me.

My quote came up as being originally posted by him.

It's a weird one. Haven't seen it before.

I'll put up links to make it easier for you to check.

This is the relevant page. Have a look at the eleventh post from the top.

In it I mention reading one of Tragic's links.

Two posts down from mine Koyezekan uses two quotes and my words come up as being originally posted by Hippo while his words come up as being originally posted by me.

This is the page containing Hungryhippo's original post. It's the twelveth one from the top.

As you can see there's something funny going on.

Does all the above make sense?

Does all the above make sense?

Kinda like that? ^

Maybe the person who made the post accidentally got the quotes mixed up while they were posting?

[R31Nismoid]

Thats what im thinking.

I've never had issue with the quotes.

If you are manually typing them, which he might be... then thats how its going to get mixed.

If your really worried, send a PM to Kozeyekan... as to me the issue is more user related the forum bug/software

[wonkynutz]

Can't think why he'd bother manually typing them but I'll ask anyway.

Not really worried but thought it was odd. Never had a problem with quotes myself.
