How do I use the "quote" feature?
I've checked my profile and everything I can think of but I can't figure out how to use the "quote" feature - can someone help? Thanks.

Here's how I do it,,,
Select and copy the text from the original post,,,
Paste it into your post,,, Select the text again,,, Click the "Wrap {Quote} tags around selected text" icon (between the image icon and the # sign) Aarond

Next time to help the mods questions like this should be asked in the section site questions and support

I didn't know how to use the quote feature myself and have been putting " " around stuff I quoted. This will make things easier. Biker |

If you want to get fancy, and add the name of the member you're quoting to the text, do the following:
Select the text you want to quote, and after clicking the quote button, do the following to the first "[.QUOTE]" box: Sample text: [.QUOTE]I own a 1911.[./QUOTE] Modified version [.QUOTE=That'll Do] I own a 1911.[./QUOTE] Basically, you add an equal sign, and the name you want to display. (The text does not need to be bold, I just did that for clarity). Note: Don't add a period in the bracketed text, I'm only doing that so you can see what to add. Here's what it looks like when done: Quote:
Modified version Quote:

All of this is covered in this sticky thread: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=323215
As Don pointed out, we have a Site Questions forum (where we are now). Testing of any feature should be done in the Software Test forum. Closed. |
