In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

Something weird. Got on this morning and saw I had a notification. Clicked on it and it showed a quote notification from CC but no thread listed. Weird.

It looks like he deleted the post after he posted it. I will post this twice, then delete the second.

I show 3 quotes from you but all 3 still show the thread. I'll try to get a screen shot of it.

Please note you are the third post in this thread, I deleted all my posts except for post 2.

I got that. If you look at the screen shot at CC's entry you will see what's missing. My quote notifications still shows all 4 of your quotes and I can click on the thread in the quote notifications screen. On CC's entry there is nothing to click on.

You can not click my quotes except for the first one and get my posts because i deleted them. This is rather complicated, so I will just give you an idea whats causing this. The database is a relational database. That means almost all you see is matched every time you display a screen. Posts are sorted and displayed dynamically when you display a screen. The fix that allows you to see who quoted you does not work that way. When you quote someone a new record (who quoted me) is created and these don't get deleted when you delete your post.

If I click on one of the top 2 quotes from you it takes me to your post. If I click on one of the other 3 it takes me to the thread OP. You will notice however that there is nothing on the thread topic line on CaptainCourtesy's entry. That's where my question lies.
