If you type the words "OriginalMessage" (with a space) in a post, the forum thinks you're quoting the previous person, and adds a strange link, like this:

[collapse]Original Message

    EDITED So you mean, Original_Message with a space instead of the underline will bring up your post hidden in a nifty line?

    It doesn't. It simply hides the rest of the post behidn the nifty line

    Original Message

    such as in Bob's post when he told about the change in his original post. Of course, on could use this for a quote:

    I think it's a (not fully built and not documented) feature, not a bug.

    How coincidental! On another thread (Bob's Original-Message) I spent quite a bit of time trying to post before just putting in periods and giving up!

    I thought it was related to the forum software periodically mixing up user names, emails and post-counts.
