Yes, I know. I was just clarifying that quoting a post does not show you stuff in the quote boxes, even though it shows you other coding stuff. That was a comment about the situation in general.

But then specifically we have the mystery of the running coach solution to this particular problem. We need Sherlock on the case!!

I’m not sure what you mean by “not capturing stuff in quote boxes”. When I hit reply/quite to your post and I’m still in the reply box I see the quote tags and the included text.

Perhaps I didn’t explain what meant the first time very well.

running coach, well he’s just one of those universal mysteries…

Another pro-tip: If you use a spoiler in your OP, the spoilered effect won’t happen when somebody mouses over the thread title in the list of new threads, so the spoiler will be revealed. vB doesn’t parse tags in the mouseover box, so if you really need to use a spoiler, you should use a second set of square brackets around your text within the spoiler tags:

[spoiler] [Rosebud is the name of his sled.] [/spoiler )
