Think I've finally figured out what sometimes makes the quote button quote the wrong post.
Necessary sequence of events:
1) View a thread. Wait for browser to finish loading completely
2) Someone else replies to that thread
3) Click the 'quote' button. When the reply screen loads, the wrong post will be quoted, typically the one before or after the required one
My guess is that the javascript on the button is doing relative addressing of posts. Should be no need for that, all the posts have a unique ID already.
Steve, can you flag this to the devs to check. It's irritating and it tends to happen on the busier threads at busier times.
