Just click that button, type out whatever you have to say right down there, and hit "Post Reply."

everything looks fine

You just hit the button, type out your response below all that stuff, and click "Post Reply."

If you just want to quote a single sentence or a specific snippet from a post:

Hit the button, then delete any text that you don't want included in your quote, leaving only the specific part you actually care about. Just a heads-up—you have to make sure the tags stay intact; the quote must start with . (The capitalization doesn't matter, by the way—there's no difference between "QUOTE" and "quote") Then, just write your reply underneath it all.

Now, if you want to quote multiple sentences and break them up:

Honestly, the easiest way is to just copy and paste the individual sentences manually, and then simply wrap them by placing after it. It helps to space them out with a few line breaks using the Enter key so it doesn't look like a total mess. Then, you just slot your own responses into those empty spaces between the quotes. To keep things simple, here’s an example:

This is my first response.

This is my second response.

This is my third response.

Once you post it, this is how it'll look:



Here's another example for you: http://www.example-us-forum.com/showpost.php?p=1...7&postcount=41

P.S. When you're testing this out, don't try quoting a post that already has a quote inside it—that's just asking for a headache. It's better to practice on a plain text post, like post #57 on this thread. 😉

Look, just clear out that first quote before you start diving into your commentary. It makes things a lot cleaner.

fair enough

that's the quote. just click it, you'll see 🙂



just watch out, that quote with the parentheses ( / ) always goes at the end of whatever you're quoting, while the one without the 'slashes' goes at the start 🙂

Keith Rodriguez27 said:That’s because they stay trapped in that giant quote box since you forget to delete the original big quote you get when you first hit the quote icon at the bottom of the post. You gotta wipe that first quote out before you start adding your own commentary. But if you do that, you lose the person's name and the link back to their original post. So, here's the move: do what I always do—just grab that

They probably just did it to justify why they slapped an antipsychotic on you in the first place.

but I’m really hoping it turns out to be more like this...

You can always go get a second opinion.
