So when I quote people, I like to look at the "BBCode" so I can clean up all the quote layers and just have a concise quote. Some people (not everyone) have "div" before and after alot of the lines of text. What's is this, I couldn't find anything on google that made sense to me. I thought I saw something else one time that I wondered what it was, too, but I can't remember. Usually I just clean that all out, leaving the text I want, and no problems.

I've seen that a number of times as well. It's something that the site adds, it seems, because I certainly don't. I alternately clean it or leave it and it doesn't seem to impact the displayed output.
Cheers.

Yours is one of the ones that always has the div in it. If I quote mine, I don't have it. You must be a better person?

Just as you say, not in yours. But I did see it in mine. Do you use CR at all, otr just type? I do use CR at times, so maybe that's it?
Looks like its a "divider," so I have a feeling that the CRs trigger them in the html stream.
Cheers.

I'm typing on a keyboard in front of a computer.
Interesting.
When I googled it, they kept talking about dividers, in html code. I don't have much experience with that at all so I kind of stopped looking.
Way back when I was in college we did a little bit of C++ and there was some text you would insert that was basically just a space for the benefit of the human doing the programming. I don't remember what that was. I spent most of my childhood life programming in Basic and I don't think I ever used a divider in the code back in those days.

Yes this is all HTML code sister stuff so to speak. BBCode is often a dumbed down version of it
Div is for division - dividing sections. Br is break. P is paragraph etc URL and IMG in brackets are often used too
BB Code is done also so no harmful scripts can get in the way like HTML allows for
I use a lot of it on the back end (though HTML vs BBCode) so I'm used to it. In short the more divs you see the more excessive spaces used that the code is trying to preserve
