[sql]ALTER TABLE $TPlinks AUTO_INCREMENT = 1[/sql]

I am not clear on this and thus reluctant to run the query. Is the table prefix "quotes"? My database name? Will this renumber the entries sequentially, but not impact quotes added thereafter? I really do want to get the numbering straight, as it does bug me considerably to have 500+ integers separating quote runs.

PHP Code:

    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 859) {
        header('Content-type: text/plain', true);
        echo "DEBUG: Found quote $quoteid, returning {Q" . QUOTE_BBCODE_ID . ":$quoteid}.\n";
    } 


Then I'll try to gather some more information tomorrow.

This had no impact that I could discern. HOWEVER, while repeatedly working with this, I re-imported the product again (as I had done several times before). Voila! Both BBCodes now work consistently. I swear I had done this several times. As with a previous problem, importing and saving settings seem to be subject to whimsy, as there is often a variable impact. Saving settings with no change or re-importing repeatedly can sometimes fix problems - eventually - maybe - curious. Anyway, this procedure deleted the two additional fields and related data which I had created, but a quick query using a table backup fixed this. And yes, the problem was evident before I started creating new fields. At least that is the way I remember it! I am beginning to wonder, at this point. Anywho, many thanks for the persistent assistance!
