How do I use the quote feature? I clicked it, and I couldn't figure it out.
Thanks, |

^^ That's what I've been doing (or not doing) since I signed up, but I think it's way easier to read when someone uses the quote feature instead of the damn mess I leave when I actually type in who said it, have the quotation marks, and all that jazz.
I'm too new to understand why the mods would like that (unless you were being completely sarcastic, then I'm just too new to understand your sarcasm) |

If you are quoting a post here, just hit the quote button on their post.
Delete anything that isn't pertinent to the point you're making, it just wastes bandwidth and it's a pain to read. Also don't quote a post directly above yours, there's no point. Just ^^ point to it. (Pardon the pun).
If you're quoting your lad, say, just cut and paste the text into your post, highlight it (left click and drag til it all turns blue), then click the "Quote" button. |

I wasn't being sarcastic mate, some people insist on quoting whole passages from the post above theirs and it gets damnned irritating. Your way is easier on the eye then constant quote boxes.
The easiest way to do it is to select all the text you want to quote and then click......quote
Just do it sparingly. |

So if I'm trying to just quote a few lines from a 6 paragraph post, and I click the quote deal it shows me all 6 paragraphs in between those quote tags. Is that just for trimming out whatever part of the post/paragraph you don't want to use, and then copying/pasting the rest into a new reply to the post?

^^ If it is something like that, So and So, just highlight the bit you want to quote, copy it, paste it into your reply, highlight it again, and then click the quote button.
It will come out like this:

If you want to attribute the quote to a user, then you will want to type ="username" after the beginning quote coding- I pasted an example of this in your post above mine- if you hit your edit button, you will be able to see the coding.
Rodus was being a bit tongue in cheek, but yes, abusing the quote button drives some of us into fits of bunny boiling rage.

Sorry about my last post, I didn't see Mugatu's post above.
Thanks everyone.
Don't worry, Rodus. I won't over use the feature.

Now you've got the basics, I'll confuse you with the masterclass.
The attribution for the quotation - the thing inside the opening tag, must be in double quotes: [quote="fred"] blah blah [/quote]
When you get around to using the URL tag, the website address is in the same place: [URL=http://disney.com/]the disney site[/URL], but it must not be in quotation marks.
For the post doctorate, learn how to do numeric lists. That will fry your brain. |
