Planet 10 Dave help with adding quotes

[Cal Weldon]

Hi Dave,

I seem to be able to do everything except add a quote to my text.

Could you run through it with me? I don't know what to do once the box comes up that says Enter text to be formatted.

Are you are soon to be planet 11 now?

You mean like this. ?

Yes Jason, just like that. I seem to follow the instructions and it doesn't seem to work. Can someone walk me through this once please?

Thanks
Cal

Put a check in the box in the post you want to quote before you click the "Reply" button:



The button I think you're looking at is for more advanced stuff: cutting and pasting partial quotes etc.

sure..:

First use your mouse and select the person's post post's that you want to quote and then go to the bottem and post reply. does that help or you still

Just don't get carried away with your new found skill though! The best quotes are small relevent snippets, rather than the whole post including pics.

Like this?, ive had probs with quotes in the past too.

Is there an easy way to select a tiny amount from a huge post to be quoted. The only way I can see that I can do this is to select the quote tick box and then remove the hash I dont wanna quote. This seems a really uneffective way of doing things.

Cheers Matt

Edit - I have this editing thing down to a tee tho!

Sure. Use the Windows cut/paste features (I use cntl C and cntl V).
Highlight the text you want to quote, hit cntl C. Then in your reply window hit the "Quote button" paste the text in the box with cntl V... close the box and you're there...

Yeah I thought as much, It would be nice though if you can select the text you wish to quote then tick the quote box and hit reply and it just quotes what you have highlighted. I suppose this is really no more hassle then what you descibed but it would still be nice if it was there.

Not that we are compaining AudioFreak this is still the best DIY board out there!
