How do I quote?

Shingles!

Lads I know this may sound like a stupid question... but how do I quote? I know ya press the little quote button but then what? If i want 1 sentence out the person's post....do I just highlight it and delete the rest? Well that's what I did....and it didn't work properly.

At the bottom right of a post you will see two links "edit" and "quote" just above the big reply button.


click that and you will get all the previous posters text in a quote bracket.

If you want to pull it apart so you can reply to parts individually, you can copy and paste it apart.

highlight the part you don't want and press delete.

BTW, of course don't use the "{" and "}" brackets. That was just for demonstration purposes. Only use the "[" and "]" brackets

Also remember that if you are quoting someone (x) that also has quoted someone (y) - the quote within a quote will not be quoted. ie: y's post will not be contained within your post/quote[/B][/QUOTE]
