Multiquote mess

Recommended Posts

The editor either lost its initial reliability in regard to preserving the draft of a post or I simply hadn't encountered those bugs before. I lost both part of a post recently and now one big post was destroyed completely - I'm sure the bug sits in the multi-quote, since others have problems with it as well.

It's too tedious to recreate the whole situation in the Kasugayama thread and I can't test there, but maybe I can still pinpoint the bug.

Language counts can vary significantly depending on what is considered a dialect. For example, Lyle Campbell counts 27 Otomanguean languages, though he, Ethnologue, and Glottolog disagree as to which languages belong in the family.

Funny, the thread gets hot by quick posting.

The post I made with multiquotes on page 1 vanished into nothingness as I sent it.

The loss appears when a 2nd forum tab is open in the same thread on the last page, while the post gets sent on the 1st page. Otherwise the post is maybe safe. But the amount of quotes and the way I arranged them may have some influence: the loss doesn't appear so far, there was much more messing around in the 1st post.
