    Do you know that the quote function is still borked for quite a few people and definitely for me on across chrome?

    Action:

    Select text in a post and hit reply.

    Symptom:

    A reply box opens with the quoted text in it, but with the "quote chevron" at the end of the text, instead of at the beginning.

    I know this is a problem for others as well due to the number of posts I see that have malformed quotes in, of this form.

    It's borked for everybody on all platforms :-)

    Quote attribution was better on Usenet 30 years ago than it is on this forum.

  • What gives with this?

    It's a pretty clear and annoying bug that has widespread impact and can't be too hard to grok, surely.

    Why has @Velocio always been silent on it?

    Given a how-to, I'd be happy to get a dev environment up and hack on it myself, but I know that that is not straightforward.

    David, throw us a fricken bone here?

    Actually works on Windows 7, Firefox version 46.0.1!
