USING QOUTES ON THE FORUM - BASICS:
There are two ways to quote on THIS forum:
1) When you open a reply box, there is a button on the second line. It sits between the INSERT CODE and the INSERT LIST functions and looks like a speech balloon.
This one INSERTS QUOTE code only. Like this:
This is the one I use most because I can then copy/paste any section of the previous post (not the whole post) into a quote box, like this:
at least I know that what ever gobblin is tampering with my head -- it was correct there.
How dare that goblin or ghosty for playing with you like that!!
2) There is also a button over to the top right of a post. Clicking that one causes a new post to be made and
QUOTE the WHOLE post by someone else.
The beginning line should have a beginning
[ and ending
] quote bracket as shown here:
If the end of the first line has no final bracket
] on the end of the line like this one:
You end up with a post that looks like this:
The part you tried to qoute is NOT quoted, and the fresh comments/message gets quoted.
To fix it, just simply open the post again, add the
] to the end of the first line.
