It's caused by the poster using Grammarly, which can mess up the quote boxes in their editor, and therefore when it gets submitted it remains messed up (it doesn't actually look messed up in the editor, but when it gets sanitised the stuff that was keeping it from not looking bad are removed).

There's nothing I can do about this though unfortunately.

I haven't been active on this forum for the last week or so, but I've noticed that a bunch of threads have messed up quotes.

 

Here's an example:

Here's the link to the thread: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1069052-name-this-car-part-bmw-e46/

 

Any ideas on why this is happening? Does this have to do with people not quoting others properly or what? Have other people noticed this "bug" recently (the last two or three days)?

 

Thanks!
