Martin Peverley Posted November 19, 2024 at 02:02 PM Report Posted November 19, 2024 at 02:02 PM Per Mr. Honemann's request: If Member C quotes from Member B's post but the quoted text was a quote from a post by Member A, the new post by Member C will show the quote incorrectly attributed to Member B instead of it's original source, Member A. Dr. Kapur's phrasing in the original topic was more succinct: "I'm not certain he can correct the incorrect mention of you as the source of the quote. He apparently quoted from your quote of @Wright Stuff in your post, rather than from WS's original post, and the software used here assigns that to you. " Quote

Atul Kapur Posted November 19, 2024 at 02:27 PM Report Posted November 19, 2024 at 02:27 PM Let's say that: Member A makes a post. Member B quotes Member A and replies. Member C quotes from Member B's quotation of Member A (rather than quoting directly from Member A's post). The post by Member C will incorrectly attribute the quote to Member B instead of it's original source, Member A.

If you want to quote a member quoting another member, then select text including the original attribution and use the "Quote selection" button that pops up. If you just want to quote the original post, then just quote the original post. Quote
