After this sentence that I’m typing right now, I’m going to insert the start-quote code (left square bracket, the word QUOTE, right square bracket).
What I anticipate seeing when I post it, though, is literallly what I typed, with no interpretation by vBulletin which seems to have ceased to interpret these codes! That is, in posts I’ve been making (and those of other people that I’ve been reading, not just mine), quotes are NOT indented, and the actual start-quote codes and end-quote codes are clearly visible in people’s posts!
This was not so until today and I haven’t changed anything on my end. Macintosh, MacOS 9.0.4, iCab v.2.7.1
If this post looks as screwy as the others that I’ve viewed, I’m going to browse to this thread in some other browsers.
On second thought, since Black Knight has done essentially that same experiment, we’ll assume that he’s right and it isn’t an OS or browser issue.
Next question: has anyone successfully logged in manually recently? I’m cookied under iCab, but this was my first time coming here under Netscape 6 since the hard drive upgrade, therefore no Netscape-flavored cookies – and SDMB did not recognize my password. (I’m pretty damn sure I know what my password is, and I didn’t have Caps Lock on or anything). So I had to post the post about Netscape 6 results using iCab to do the posting.
The quotes got messed up due to your Admins mucking with the fabric of the universe. We have now fixed all the errors in the space-time continuity, except for one woman in Topeka who will never understand why her kitty is now fuschia, the emergence of a new intellegence on Voltron-32, and the disappearence of several dozen plaid socks from James Bernard’s dresser. Sorry 'bout that.
