Thanks for this info. I tried to experiment on it by altering the numbers manually but I’m always getting a very odd date which is doesn’t make sense to the number or any pattern that will lead me to understanding the format.
Now I can have peace of my mind that this is not an easy fit job.
I don't know how likely you are to click the preview button before you start writing, if you do then on the draft page you will find the full quote easily, copy and paste again, it's that simple.
I’m always using the preview button before I made my post. This is the reason why I can detect the missing number on that date since the bbcode [/quote] is appearing on my preview post.
I just quote again the same post then copy the date format on my original quoted post that I already trim.
Nice to learn new info in the forum structure.
