if you use this quick reply you can post "before" someone's other post : take a look at time of mine(07-11-2002 01:38 PM) and post by Santoman(07-11-2002 01:22 PM), we used the quick reply ( i did , and i think he did it too) and compare to the post time of Starhost : 07-12-2002 12:55 AM :)

I don't think it is the quick reply. More likely it is the fact that for a short period, the server date and time wasn't correct on one of the new servers. This was fixed, however this kinda screwed up the post order and locked some people out from posting as the forum is now confused.
