That arrow (which is actually just a link back to the original post) is generated by that ID number (;43535166) located behind the author's username in the original post. Every single post has its own unique number.

with the number
Python code:
[ICODE][COLOR=#000000] [COLOR=#007700][[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB]QUOTE[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]=[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB]Frank Booth12[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700];[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB]43535166[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]]...[/[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000BB]QUOTE[/COLOR][COLOR=#007700]] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/ICODE]

Basically, if you're quoting someone, don't go deleting anything—just trim down the actual content inside the brackets if the post is getting way too long.

I was honestly hoping there’d be some kind of one-click option to just nest a post within a post... you know? When I start quoting multiple people from different threads, I tend to lose my place—it gets messy fast. Since my own replies usually end up being a bit long-winded—I almost always find myself quoting several folks at once—it becomes a total headache trying to track who is responding to whom. Guess I’ll just have to do it all manually then... either way, thanks for the help

Once you've tagged them all, just click the regular Quote button on that final post. Everything should automatically wrap itself in those quote tags, giving you the freedom to clean up any fluff, bold the parts that actually matter, or slide your own commentary in between the blocks of text. It's pretty straightforward, really.

You’ll end up wrapping all those posts in quote tags, and then you can strip out the fluff, **bold the essential parts**, and toss in your own commentary between the citations.

It’s always one thing or another... yes, no, yes, no. It never really settles, does it? Just this endless, exhausting cycle of being right and being wrong.😁

Finally...

yeah, sure...😁

all those posts will end up wrapped in their own quote tags. From there, you can manually strip out the fluff, bold the parts that actually matter, or wedge your own commentary in between the quotes.

Got it...

It isn't working for me—sorry about that, boldsailor12.

If this is what you're looking for:
Frank Booth12 said:Man, you aren't kidding, I see it now! But seriously, why on earth are the arrows gone??😕🤷

Yeah, I see it now, but I seriously don't get why the arrows aren't showing up??😕🤷
Then you've gotta write it out like this:
[ Q U O T E =Frank Booth12;43535166][ Q U O T E =tominator;43532850]Something's definitely off because those little arrows that jump you back to the original post[ / Q U O T E ]Yeah, I see it now, but I seriously don't get why the arrows aren't showing up??😕🤷[ / Q U O T E ]

Just leave out the spaces in the quote tags—I only put them in there so the system wouldn't turn them into actual quotes while I was typing, I just wanted them to show up as plain text 😉I hope that's what you were after and that I actually helped, but yeah, you can't just do it in one go; you've got to basically copy and paste them inside each other one by one.

So, how on earth am I supposed to write my Python code across multiple lines without the whole thing just bunching up into one giant, messy single line where everything overflows and looks totally ridiculous? 🙂 Does anyone out there actually know how to handle this 🙂

Use the quote tool for your code!

Wait, which one??? My current code actually works, but this Python stuff just mashes everything into a single line and ends up deleting the last part of my data 🙂 please, I need some help here! Just tell me which script to use and how it works. I already know I should probably be using the code from Sarah Turner98.

🤷

I attached that screenshot for you. Just hit quote and paste the code... here's what I mean:
class Programmer {
// Class Properties
var $name; // Programmer's name
var $experience; // How long has been programming
var $lang; // Favorite Language
var $education; // Highest degree earned
// Class Constructor - function same name as the class
function Programmer($name, $experience, $lang, $education) {
$this->name=$name;
$this->experience=$experience;
$this->lang=$lang;
$this->education=$education;
}
// Getter/Setter functions for all properties in the class
function get_name() {
return $this->name;
}
function set_name($newname) {
$this->name = $newname;
}
function get_experience() {
return $this->experience;
}
function set_experience($newexperience) {
$this->experience = $newexperience;
}
function get_lang() {
return $this->lang;
}
function set_lang($newlang) {
$this->lang = $newlang;
}
function get_education() {
return $this->education;
}
function set_education($neweducation) {
$this->education = $neweducation;
}
// Utility data dump function
function output() {
echo "Programmer Name: ".$this->name."<br>";
echo $this->name." has ".$this->experience." years of programming experience.<br>";
echo $this->lang." is ".$this->name."'s favorite programming language.<br>";
echo $this->name." holds the degree: ".$this->education."<br><br>";
}
}
// Instantiating a programmer
$paul = new Programmer('Paul Conrad',12,'C++','Bachelor of science in Computer science');
$paul->output();
// Oops, Paul has programmed alot longer than 12 year, really is 22 years
$paul->set_experience(22);
$paul->output();
?>

I’m a bit confused by this process. But I think I managed to pull it off successfully.
