When I put my mouse over someone's reputation boxes, the usual line for someone with 11 boxes is "X has mounted Taniquetil again". However, twice I have seen weird ones. The first time, it said "X wonders what happened to the reputation system." The second time, on a different person, it said "X steals taters from confused gaffers"

Is that supposed to happen?

Yes, that's normal - there are several brief, witty interludes in the reputations, between mounting Taniquetil the first and the second time. Those should be mentioned somewhere on the now closed Reputations thread - though you'll have to search a bit between chatty nonsense...

I can't figure out how to quote other posts. How do I get it to say "Oringinally posted by X:"?

I can answer that for you! You highlight the part you want then right click and copy it. Then you highlight it again once you have placed it where you want then wrap it in quote tags (the 1 on the top righthand side) Then you put a = sign and the persons name (in the quote box part) I hope that makes sense.

There's an easier and faster way to quote someone's post - see the little yellow "quote" box in the lower right corner of the post you want to quote? Click on that, and it automatically opens a new post window with that post included as a quote. If you don't want to quote the whole thing, delete the rest of it, and post your comments and additions below. Voila!

When viewing who's online, wgy does it sometimes say "Replying to Thread" and show the thread's name with orange (a link) and sometimes only "Replying to Thread"?

This has been troubling me for a while now...

There are a couple of restricted subforums: one open only to mods/admins; one to mods/admins and a few other posters.

EDIT: make that 'restricted'
