The community catbox
This is Robert, reporting a major malfunction: Looks like tikiwiki treated my reply like an edit of Eri's post. It was something how she liked the "cat box...er, I mean the chat box", and my reply was meant to riff on that. I saw her message in the editor, but interpreted it as quoting for the reply.
I'm pretty sure I clicked Reply and not edit (I'm currently logged-in as admin, and I should probably have switched to my civilian account, which wouldn't have let me edit). Doh! Double doh!
Sorry, Eri. I'm gonna go try to reply. This is weird.
