QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 10/22/2008 5:16 pm You have to use the "reply to topic" button, not the quick response at the bottom of the page. Once there you copy and paste the quote from the post (below the box you are typing in.) then highlight it in your new post and hit the little button with the sheet of paper and the red arrow in the format section above the box you are typing in. Clear as mud! Quote: With over 800 posts, I still don't know how to do this. Forgive me, I'm an idiot! Report this Post to the Staff

Typing: [quote]This is the quoted text[/quote] Will show as: Quote: This is the quoted text Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 10/22/2008 5:53 pm You can still use the quick reply box to insert quotes; you just need to cut-and-paste the text you want to quote, then type [quote] and [/quote] manually, on either side of the quoted text. The forum used to have a quick quote button on each post, but people were abusing it, quoting whole blocks of text unnecessarily and cluttering up the forum, so it was disabled. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188560 Posts	Posted 10/22/2008 6:09 pm Embed another code sequence, on/off, in the middle, like this: [quote[s][/s]] or [/quote[s][/s]] Of course, that line has hidden codes embedded in it as well to allow you to see it. You only need to do the first or the second tag, not both.
