Reply with Quote function works improperly with Safari browser in phpBB 3.3.13

[MWmetalhead]

Good morning.

I run https://www.mibuzzboard.com

Since upgrading from phpBB 3.2.8 to phpBB 3.3.13, my posters who use Safari as their web browser are having difficulty with the Reply with Quote function.

It seems a numerical string that gets parsed when using the function is interpreted as a phone number by Safari as opposed to the intended purpose.

Below is an example of a post where this very issue occurred:

I just paid $17 to fill my work van with gas.

By googling, I was able to find a Github post where this sort of issue was noted with posters using the Safari browser:
https://github.com/BoardTools/QuickReply/issues/66

I am unable to determine which template files I need to modify, and which specific code I need to modify, to fix this issue. I am perplexed as to why this issue never occurred when using 3.2.8.

Could someone who reads this support forums with coding knowledge please advise what I need to do to fix this problem? Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

As noted above, I am currently using phpBB 3.3.13. I am running PHP 7.2.34. Other notables:
- I have the U.S. English and default British English language packs installed
- I have the following styles installed: prosilver, AllanStyle subsilver, Elegance, Flat Style, prosilver special edition and square.
- I have the following EXTs installed and enabled: Board Announcements, Change Logo, Large Font, Left Side Post Profiles, NavBar Search, Poster IP in Viewtopic, Recent Topics, Scroll to up and bottom, Tapatalk Plugin for phpBB 3.1/3.2/3.3, Topic Preview, and VigLink.

If you look at the malformed post
you'll see that the closing [/quote]s are missing on several nested posts that were quoted.

Try correcting those and then preview. I'm fairly certain that correct quoting will solve the issue.

This quoted reply posted from Safari on an iPad and it works as intended.

Either your user has a browser extension that might be causing the misinterpretation or perhaps one of your extensions is the cause.

Just in case repeating using Safari on an iPhone.

Thanks for the replies. My understanding is the user used the Reply with Quote feature, so the tags should have generated properly on their own.

Either your user has a browser extension that might be causing the misinterpretation or perhaps one of your extensions is the cause.

Either of the above seems logical. If the culprit is the latter, it seems to me of the extensions installed, Viglink is the most likely culprit.

I'd point my finger towards

Tapatalk Plugin for phpBB 3.1/3.2/3.3

Good call; I will try disabling that extension, deleting the data and reenabling it.

What's the allowed quote depth?

On the other hand the a href="tel: does also point to tapatalk.

Quote depth is set to unlimited.

When trying to access my site via Tapatalk earlier, I was able to display forum view but unable to load any of the topics. When trying to delete data from the Tapatalk extension, I received an error:

"Something went wrong during the request and an exception was thrown. The changes made before the error occurred were reversed to the best of our abilities, but you should check the board for errors.

A required module does not exist: ACP_MOBIQUO_TITLE"

I registered an account for the Tapatalk support forum, and I plan to ask about the above error message once my account there gets activated by the administrator.
