And its purely a javascript issue right now. When Quote is clicked, you can see that it properly performs the AJAX request to retrieve the original quote, but somehow fails midway through.
oh, how can you tell the AJAX request is being sent? I couldn't figure out if it was or not.

Chrome Developer Toolbar. Clicking on Network should show all browser activity, and you can see the request go out and come back well formed.
Ok, I tried deleting Button Bar and reinstalling it with no result. Quotes still broken. Button Bar still inserting the wrong formatting when I click the image button.
Sorry to lean on you guys, but I have no idea where to even start looking for the problem here.
im assuming at this point that disabling button bar will resolve the client js issue.
if not done already, removing the button bar code, re-downloading the package and unzipping it with 7-zip may be a good idea. at least to rule out any funkiness with the loading of the add-on.
I've seen some add-ons that did not unpack well using the windows 7 unzipping function.
not sure if @todd is planning on running this to ground for you. If he is, i dont want to get in the way.

my gut says theres something funky going on in the markdown engine somewhere. but i am way out of my league as far as real knowledge to stand on. i wish i could help more.
I had to go back to TinyMCE temporarily because I was already getting complaints about the image functionality not working. Quotes not working with this editor either.

Could it have been a problem with changing the input formatter to Markdown? Is there something else I need to do?
i really dont have an answer, but it's a definite possibility in my mind. unfortunately i don't know the consequences of switching back to simple html to see what happens.
FYI - im not using markdown, i kept the simple html.
FIXED! This may be the hackiest hack that ever was hacked, but the problem was apparently with quotes.js. I'd tried reinstalling the file with no success. Redownloading: nothing. I used inspect element on THIS forum, found the quotes.js file, copied all the text into my quotes.js file, and VOILA! Working quotes.
I did the same thing with Button Bar and now it's pasting the Markdown image tag properly.
Please let me know if there was anything proprietary in either of those files, as I don't want to infringe.
Incidentally, if you do that, you may want to change the "strikethrough" option for Markdown in Button Bar. It's set to surround strikethrough text with dashes, but that doesn't appear to work any longer. I had to replace:
case 'strike':
$(TextArea).insertRoundTag('-',markdownOpts);
break;
with:
case 'strike':
var thisOpts = $.extend(markdownOpts, {
prefix:'',
opentag:'<del>',
closetag:'</del>',
opener:'',
closer:''
});
$(TextArea).insertRoundTag('',thisOpts);
break;
in order to get strikethrough to work properly. -This- appears to be deprecated, or at least wasn't working properly on my installation.
Thanks again for all the help, folks. I think I may have all the bugs fixed!

clicking on the img button on his site is producing the !() markdown only.

I'm hanging. This upgrade has been intensely irritating though. Every time I think I've fixed something, another issue pops up.

Looks like we need to upload newer versions of the quotes and button bar plugins. Thanks.
