Nem and Mer: I've edited your posts to make the quotes display correctly. There seems to be a problem when using the inbuilt "Quote" button, top RH side of any posting.  If you use that, it's not producing the 'close quote' code in the right place.

In the FAQs I've explained how to quote part of someone's post and avoid the problem.  It might be better to use that route until I get time to find out just why the post quoting feature behaves as it does.  On the other hand , quoting an entire post isn't the best thing, anyway, as it tends to slow down the reading of threads.

The reason is quite simple. When you quote someone's message, the [ /quote ] tag can sometimes be out of sight unless you scroll down slightly. It's very easy to just write your message at the end of the quoted section and submit it without realising that the [ /quote ] tag is in the incorrect place.

In that case, however, even scrolling I couldn't find it.  But what I need to discover is why it's happening at all.

Sorry about that--I usually try to aim for the end of the quote tags. ))*

I'm not sure it was your fault;  I'm testing at the moment, to try to see how often the problem Dave describes actually occurs.  Thus far I haven't managed reproduce it once.

Thats because you guys inherently know what you are doing.

Some of us mere mortals stumble around, and make mistakes even after reading your esteemed guidance.

You might have to develop 'idiot proof' software.... well for me at least!

There's something odd happening with the quote codes;  in theory, it's foolproof.  You simply highlight the text you want to quote (hold down LH mouse button and drag across the text then copy - Ctrl-C) then, after clicking on 'reply' you click once on the little yellow speech balloon in the icons above (2nd row, 2nd from right) and simply press Ctrl-V.  That should present you with your quoted text neatly 'bookended' with the correct quote codes. However, that's not always happening, and it's not simply because the second end quote has slipped below the radar. It seems the software is sometimes adding half a nested quote (that's when you get one quote inside another) but forgetting to add the second end quote.  I haven't managed to reproduce it, yet, but it's just happened with a post by Blongb.

A photographer’s website is championing the preservation of images of urban landscapes
and aiming to establish a collection of fast-disappearing, everyday street scenes.

Fotolibra, the first open access picture library, is asking photographers to submit photographs of ordinary streetscapes, showing traditional shop fronts and buildings before they are demolished to make way for new developments to create a permanent, continuing record.

Fotolibra market our members' image rights so they can profit from their picture collections.
And picture researchers can discover unpublished images from around the world at competitive prices.

at the moment they are requesting:

Spring In Snowdonia, North Wales

Minimum pixel dimensions: 3000x2000; double page spread: 5150x3500
Landscape, Portrait, Square; colour
Deadline: Monday, February 21, 2011; 14:00 GMT

Hotel Metropole by davidrobertsphotography, on Flickr

"The former Hotel Metropole in Penrhyn Road, Colwyn Bay. As recently as the 1950s, Chauffeurs used to line up outside in their cars to pick up their rich clients after lunch. Business declined through the 1960s and 70s until it ended its days in the 1980s as a dingy nightclub called 'Flight Level Zero'. After complete closure, it was bought by a Housing Association and converted into flats in the 1990s."

Nice photo, it brings back memories  :)

I remember 'Flight Level Zero' had the cockpit of a helicopter inside the club.

I've got a memory of it being Colwyn Bay Tax Office in it's lifetime too.
