Hi

I was wondering on how to "quote" other posters sentences or paragraphs instead of having to reply to the whole post? If anyone or any moderator can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Fran

There is a "quote" button at the bottom right corner of ever post. Its next to the "reply" button.

Hope you can find it! smile.gif

There's a button above the text field when you're typing that has a little speech bubble in it. Clicking that will put this code in your field:

CODE
[quote][/quote]

Just copy and paste whatever you want to quote into the middle of the two quote tags (the only drawback is that it won't show who you're quoting above the quote).

It'll look like this when you make the post:
QUOTE
This is an example of what generic quote tags look like.

As opposed to showing the info, like this:

Or you can reply to the post, and then just edit what you want to show up in your own post.

I hope that makes sense. I'm having a hard time putting this into words, lol.
