Weird Alert Glitch

[HorizonTheTransient]

I got the alert:

KinKrow quoted your post in the thread [NSFW] Nasuverse Discussion, Ideas, Fic Rec Thread.

and the post I was linked to was this. Which, uh... Doesn't quote me at all. I dunno what made this fuck up like that. I'd guess something along the lines of user ID numbers doing something weird, but I'm not a sysadmin or even much of a programmer, so I'm probably wrong.

More often than not someone is accidentally quoted and the quote edited out. He looks to have posted in your thread before that post so it's not unlikely that he'd have a quote stored in the +Quote queue. Was that about it KinKrow or was it something else?

The quote-alert system works based on post number and doesn't actually check the content of the quote; if someone fumble-fingered a post number manually entering it and it happened to match one of yours, that could happen. Or else copied a quote block from SB/SV; that one I've seen happen before.

It doesn't look like either of those; the two quotes have working links that lead to someone else's post, both in the same thread.

Glancing over the edit history, there was previously a quote of you, which he edited out.

I thought I quoted one of somebody else's posts, but had yours.

And hoo boy, would that have been a woozy given what I had quoted and had replied.

Embarassing~
