The 'Quote' function...

[richmond]

I know its proably old ground and I should be doing more research but can anyone explain in simple terms how an old trog like me lifts a quote from a previous post and gets it into a nice white box with the originators name on top. Please Captain Stogie dont shout at me you no I dont like it

[QUOTE]Write or copy the quote into here![/QUOTE][/quote]

 The second 'tag' has a forward slash...

Hope this helps!  

Go ahead and practice on this thread if you like...

To get the original posters name attatched you need to press the button on their post... pic below!

Easy, eh?

And you can edit the post in the box containing the quote...

Of course you have to be sparing and honest with the edits!

If you still have trouble with the "Quote" feature then ask Stewart. He's a whizz at this stuff.

I think he got this one nailed in less than three years!

OK....But how can you put 2quotes...in one post

[rxpharm]

69billy, you can do it this way:

Copy the text you want to be quoted, then hit the Quote button, paste the text, and finish by clicking the Quote button again.

Repeat for a second post.

If you do it this way, you do not get the original poster information with the quote.

Yes he is, but don't you think we should be sending this guy to Paddy?
