Quotes #1 and #2 make me think quote #3 is correct.
I replaced a GFI outlet a few weeks ago. The load wires on the original outlet were at the bottom (with the ground pin down) and the line wires were at the top.
I wired the new outlet the same way, and it would not work.
I took the new outlet out and actually READ the labels. The new outlet had the load wires at the top, and the line wires at the bottom. Just the reverse of the old outlet. Problem solved.
And, just to be sure we all understand the terminology, the wires labeled "LINE" on the outlet come from the breaker box, the wires labeled "LOAD" go to the rest of the outlets on the chain, protecting them.
