Just testing some quoting, since someone else is having some problems with it this morning.
Looks as if it's working OK...
I believe that the problem is the number of quotes used.
There seems to be a limit on how many quotes can be contained in a single post.

10 quotes per post is the curent setting.
I 'fixed' the original problem post by converting a couple 'quote' tags to 'code' statements.
Background: FireFox (1.0.x) tended to blow up at around 12 to 14 embedded quotes. Opera tended to blow up at something around 9 to 12 embedded quotes. The limit setting at 10 embedded quotes per post has been the Default and recommended setting since version 2.0.1 or so .... making that a couple of years now ....

...edit, it is suprising how may views this little test topic has had.
Test topics appear to be treated pretty much like "How to use" pages. Just taking the "top" pages of various forums currently (by linear correlation) -TEST Views 1272 + 151 per reply
HOW TO USE - Forum, Reporting Views 1735 + 374 per reply
Contrast with
HELP - Reporting, BL, Mail, Mailhosts Views 72 + 33 per reply
LOUNGE Views 25 per reply
Fairly obviously the length of time any given topic spends on the forum's "front page" has a lot to do with it.
(Some correlations are "weak" - they do not account for much of the variance - but all are assured by high confidence levels - the least of which indicates 1/34,543 probability of chance attribution).

Exactly right, I didn't anticipate a response - just seemed to have some interesting possibilities if left. Or it might be desirable to change the behavior. Nothing worth any sort of priority of itself. But raised partly because such things sometimes lead elsewhere, to more worthy things.[Sorry myself for not jumping in more quickly with assurances - a server or two seems to have briefly gone offline here with a local thunder storm.

The domain mentioned belongs to LogMeIn and is intended for legitimate remote support use. Fraudulent or illegal use is a direct violation or our terms. It is something we take very seriously, act on immediately, and investigate thoroughly, sometimes in assistance of law enforcement.
Looks like someone is now blocking connection to www.support.me from my location/provider (still up and running via proxies/watchmouse.com etc. also pings work from my PC) - somewhat misguided since it is a legitimate service, simply abused. Ah well, my favourite "Windows Support Center" still gave me a six-digit code to type in which I promptly e-mailed to scamreport[at]logmein.com 
Anyone know the failure message if an incorrect code is entered there? Next time I might try stringing the scammers along using that, to see how many codes they will give me to report. Better in bulk, eh?
