Two other things about the quote function. One is just an observation, the other is a P-I-T-A.
Clicking the quote link gives you the quote with <p> tags, C/P text quote gives you line breaks. It's inconsistent, but hardly the end of the world.
But is it just me, but when I create a quote by clicking the link below a post the post is given in the reply textarea, with the cursor within the quote. And there's no space below the quote to click out of it.
That's a PITA, but at least I have HTMLskillz. Pity the poor schmuck who just 'wants it to work'.
