Odd "quote" tag in cleartext in posts
In this thread
http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=758094
posts 18-20 have odd tags in cleartext in the beginning of the post like
[quote=alfahund;8756657]
This seems to refer to the previous post.
Post 20 is from me, and I definitely did not insert anything like this, actually, I pressed the quote button of different post.

For whatever reason, it looks like the closing quote tag wasn't included in post #18, which caused the quote in that post to appear as you saw it. All of the quote problems in the subsequent posts were caused by that same missed closing quote tag being perpetuated.
I've gone in and cleaned things up in that thread. This was likely not a technical glitch, but rather a case of the closing tag being removed accidentally during the post editing process.
