Title: QUOTE BUTTON
Post by: DickyD on December 10, 2009, 06:20:16 pm
Why wont people on the forum use the "Quote" button when they want to quote what someone has said previously ?

It makes the posting a whole lot easier to read.

If you dont want to use the whole quote, highlight and delete the part you dont want.

and if you know the BB code you can even make your own...  %%

Quote
the first quote

Quote
and probably another one

this could go on all day long..

Quote
with even more quotes

but i think i will give it up as a bad joke...
to make a quote using the BB codes ;
press the open square bracket key [ then type the word "quote" the press the close square bracket key ]
start typing the quote, or copy and paste the quote then
press the open square bracket key [ the press the forward slash key / then type the word "quote" the press the close square bracket key ]

Alternatively, just copy the bit you want, paste into your post, highlight it and click the "quote" icon.  Repeat as required for your other quotes.
