One thing I've noticed since the new forum was released is an issue with multi-quote. I think that if I multiquote several users, then edit out portions of their posts for my final post, when I post again later, their entire quotes show up in my text box. It's happened several times, and I missed it the first time, but Dakar pointed it out in the Free Will thread. I'm using Safari and 10.4.8, and I successfully duplicated it in the Apple v. Apple thread.
Any ideas as to what this is?

Sure, call me to the witness stand.

It looks like the plus buttons are staying stuck even after I post. Any ideas why?

Jiggle them a few times and see if they unstick.

Yep... ...the multi-quotes stay stuck per thread.

1) Multi-quote in a particular thread.
2) Go post in some other thread, no problem.
3) Go back and try to quote a new post in the (1) thread and you'll end up with just the original multi-quote.

Pretty annoying, since sometimes you have to dig back a few pages to unmark the previous multi-quotes.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

It worked the same way in the old design, but yes, it’s odd and I think effgee has actually tried (in vain so far) to figure out if there’s a way to fix it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is a vB issue more than anything else.
