I'm not sure what you mean by a variable. (Edit: oh, I think I see now, you mean a variable you can use in the template). Maybe you have an idea of how to do it that I haven't thought about. But the quote is just a bbcode with the user's name as an option and the text as the parameter, like: [QUOTE=ctrlbrk]Or just a $variable?...[/quote]. That's all the information there is. It *might* be possible to do a query for previous messages matching the quoted text (assuming it hasn't been deleted), but I'm not going to try to do anything like that - it might end up being more complicated than the entire mod is now.

So that just leaves adding it to the option somehow. Quoting posts uses that method by adding the post id after a semicolon, like [QUOTE=ctrlbrk;2392037]Or just a $variable?...[/quote], then the code looks for that, strips it off and uses it to create the little arrow that takes you to the post. I might be able to do something similar with the date and time, but then if my mod is uninstalled it will still be there (unless I go through all PMs on the system and delete it when I uninstall). That might not be a problem if it's text - my mod can strip it off and make it a variable in the template, and if it's uninstalled it will just appear after the name. Adjusting the timezone might be a bit of an issue but I think I can deal with that.

Anyway, let me know if you have a different idea.
