Glad you got it working. As for quoting. If you fully quote the post immediately before yours, the board “fixes” your post by editing out the quote. It’s controversial.

Not to side-track too much, but thanks. I was wondering myself why sometimes full quote would work and sometimes it wouldn’t. I also wondered why posts were being marked edited that I didn’t edit. I never even connected that the two things were related, much less why it was happening.

The posts being marked edited thing is probably **What Exit** messing around with tags. Discourse won’t edit your posts on its own.

Discourse most assuredly will edit your post, if you fully quote the post immediately above yours. It will edit your post after you save and submit to strip the quote, and it counts as an edit.

Here’s the Discourse Meta announcement of the implementation of this feature.

Yup. Happens to me all the time.

Discourse is as Discourse does.
