Twice this week, the quote boxes in someone’s post has attributed a quote to me that was made by someone else. And just now, when I quoted someone, the box attributed someone else. See [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12724502&postcount=192) (the quote was actually made by **Spoke** , not by me), [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12729086&postcount=19) (quote made by **Bridget Burke** , not by me) and [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12730486&postcount=22) (quote made by **Chefguy** , not by **Bridget Burke** ).

Something is up with the quote boxes. This did’t happen before.
