it means you formatted your quote box wrong and it looked funny and carnivore edited the post for you.

Veets, sometimes things break when posts are quoted.

The mod note above just means that a moderator noticed that formatting was broken on a quotation like this...

"raven" wrote: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more."/quote]

...so the moderator went in to correct the quote bbcode tags (the [ quote ] thingies) to properly display as follows:

[quote=raven]Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more."...

Just a little housekeeping.

Your comment was included as part of the quote so it looked like pima said it. I moved the end quote tag to the end of the quote for you.

Thanks for clarificatio
No big deal but I was curious since I post often and that never happened before.

No problem. I think a lot of us used to just fix them without leaving notes. I started leaving mod notes when I do it in case you intended for it to appear that way for some reason, so you wouldn't think I was trying to change what you were saying.
