Bugs

  • When message starts with [quote]test[/quote] other text and no text selected, on Quick Quote click the message pasted into Quick reply form is incorrect. — Anatoly 2008/11/18 06:46 — fixed
  • Quick quote is including the user's signature into the quote (forums post). Maybe actually similar to previous bug. — fixed
  • If pun_quote is enabled, then those who have javascript disabled can not quote at all. (Forums post by 8k84) — fixed
  • Reply to post is broken, when URL rewriting is enabled. (Forums topic by hcgtv) — fixed
  • If the whole message is citing BB-codes are ignored. — Denis 2008/12/2 17:50 — fixed
  • If selection includes a smiley, then whole message text is quoted rather than just the selection.

Feature requests

  • The selected text is always added to the end of Quick Post, but it would better add it just at the current cursor position.Anatoly 2008/11/26 07:01
