hi, a funny thing i saw today, when looking at posts i made:
search.php?author_id=44996&sr=posts

it shows some posts that looke like i made them, but those words were actually spoken by someone else lol :)

Any news on this? It's really annoying when you're searching and half the results are unmarked quotes.
