Multi-quote

For whatever reason, every time I use multi-quote it won't copy the last quote to the reply window if it's the most current post in the thread.

Re: Multi-quote

Adam: I've never had that problem. I just tried to recreate the problem and couldn't do it.

If I click on multi-quote for posts x, y, & z in a thread (with z being the last one) and then click on "quote" for x, I get (in order) x, y & z in the text box.

If I click on multi-quote for posts x, y, & z in a thread (with z being the last one) and then click on "quote" for z, I get (in order) z, x & y in the text box.

But, each time, I get the most recent post to be included in the quote parade.

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Windows XP.

Re: Multi-quote

I just tried one last time and had this result:

I went to the SNL: Season 1 thread in Software/TV and clicked "multi-quote" on the last four posts (w, x, y, z). I then clicked the "quote" on x and got all four posts listed in the text box in this order: x, w, y, z.

Sorry I can't be of more help. That's a head scratcher.

Re: Multi-quote

I tried again (on a different computer in a different building also using IE6) by turning multiquote on for both of your posts. Only your first post copied to the reply window.

Re: Multi-quote

Hmmmm. So maybe its an IE thing?

Parker will probably check in and figure it out.

Damn it, Adam. I fired up IE6 on my home computer--something I haven't done since doing a new install of Windows XP back in January. I actually had to enter my HTF User name and password to get here.

I came to this thread...fire up the multi-quotes on each post in this thread. I went to Post #1 and pressed "quote"...and you can see what happened. They all came up...including the last post!

I also tried clicking multi-quote on all the posts...and clicking "quote" on the last post. Everything was the same...except that the last post was ordered first.

Now I really don't know what to tell you.

Re: Multi-quote

Perhaps there was an ancient curse that was placed on my family line that prevents multiquote from working on the most recently posted post selected..?

Re: Multi-quote

You just may be on to something there. Did you have a great-great uncle that really pissed off Bartlett (of Bartlett's Quotations)?

Hmm...I didn't write the script but it has always worked well for me.

Re: Multi-quote

Must be the curse thing then, Adam.

Works for me and Parker.
Our families, though--it is well-known--are curse free.
