    Default How to use Quotes

    Ok about quotes..

    the easiest way to quote is to use the quote button on the bottom right of the message you wish to quote, if you wish to quote multiple posts you use the MQ button again on the bottom right and on the final post you wish to add to the multi quote you use the quote button and that adds everything to your post.


    now if you wish to break up a quoted post into multiple quotes your gonna need to do some editing of what your quoting.

    so suppose you want to quote the following

    oh my did i just say that out loud
    thats how it would appear as a normal quote

    to break up the post you are going to need to know a bit of BB CODE

    remember for each quote you need an opening quote code and an ending quote

    beginning quote code would be {quote=username}
    the ending quote code is {/quote}
    curly brackets are used instead of the [ square brackets

    so by adding opening quote code and ending quote code you can pretty much do anything.

    remember that every opening quote needs and ending quote or it wont work

    OK. I think I figured part of this out.

    if I want to quote several posts, I hit MQ on each one, then QUOTE on the last one, and it shows them all...

    I had to mess with different combo's of the buttons there, but a little trial and error worked.

    And if you use the "Go Advanced" button instead of the "Post Quick Reply" button you can preview your post before it goes live and make any changes you need to do.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.
