How to quote posts in replies.

[Richard Amiel McGough]

When replying to a post, there is a button in the lower right corner just below the post that says "Reply With Quote." When you click that, you will see somthing like this:

[quote=Fred]
Hey there Sam!

You are a jerk.

I guess you are glad you can edit anything you like when you respond to my post, eh?

Have a nice day,

Fred.
[/quote]



You then could delete any part of Fred's comment that you didn't want to reply to, and type your response below the "quote" tag between square brackets:

[quote=Fred]
Hey there Sam!

You are a XXX.

I guess you are glad you can edit anything you like when you respond to my post, eh?

Have a nice day,

Fred.
[/quote]

Hi Fred,

I exed out your rotten insult.

Have a nice day.

Sam

And when you hit "Submit Post" this is what you would see this which I have placed between the lines:

==================================

Hey there Sam!

You are a XXX.

I guess you are glad you can edit anything you like when you respond to my post, eh?

Have a nice day,

Fred.

Hi Fred,

Sam
==================================

You can have quotes within quotes as much as you like, though it's rarely a good idea to have more than two. For example, is Fred wanted to reply to Sam and include his original post, then he would write this in the edit box:


[quote=Sam]
[quote=Fred]
Hey there Sam!

You are a XXX.

I guess you are glad you can edit anything you like when you respond to my post, eh?

Have a nice day,

Fred.
[/quote]

Sam
[/quote]
Hey there Sam,

This is my last comment, you jerk!

Love,

Fred


Which would look like this when posted:

==================================

Fred.

If anyone has any questions, don't be shy! I can assure you, other more shy members will have the same questions.
