No longer works, following the change (it seems?) to the new format for topic URLs, i.e. this topic is http://www.diynot.com/forums/forum-information/quoting-posts-from-other-topics.290267/
whereas historically it would have been simply http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=290267
Here's an example of the problem. This is a quote from a post in another topic:
Looks OK when pasted in, with an opening of [quote="ban-all-sheds";p="2113344"], but the url you get when you click on it is no longer
http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2113344#2113344 like it used to be (a URL format which still works, BTW)
but http://www.diynot.com/forums/forum-...opics.290267/viewtopic.php?p=2113344#2113344.
For some reason the forum s/w is assuming that a quote must be from the same topic, and is inserting the topic name into the URL for the quote, not the target topic name, i.e. not the name of the topic where the quoted post is, thus breaking the link.
