I was told I've been quoted on the front page the other day. I was on holiday and don't even know what I was quoted for.smiley - yikes
Are there any archives with this information?

No idea what it was but someone, somewhere has a list of some of the quotes, though I'm not sure how up to date it is. (I think it was TiT. These things are usually TiT!)

It would be good if Derek popped the QOTD in the QOTD message though.

An Italic. Sorry, I forgot that we don't get a QOTD message from him! I was thinking of the 'Your PS is on the front page' message.smiley - doh

Sorry about that, blame the sudden appearance of the sun and the inevitability of me having to go to work in a minute.

Going back through the FrontPage archives, I find that the quote-of-the-day link is frequently malformed - using "latest=1" instead of an explicit "skip=" offset and thus no longer indicating the actual post at all. However, some of those faulty links also include the #pi and thus the correct skip can be reconstructed.

It was hardly "the other day". I had to go back to the 10th of July to find it and the actual quote itself was from 4 weeks ago.

> "I was on holiday and don't even know what I was quoted for."

It would have helped if you'd mentioned the actual days you missed. Here it is though:

F19585?thread=4327237#pi19 = "I just love it when you talk Pythagoras to me..."

So, was this a one-off event or have other people been asking after their QOTDs - such that it ought to be added to the FrontPage Archive (along with the EG blurbs for which people used to ask)?
