Just click the Quote icon and start typing... it's really that simple...

And if you're trying to break a post up into pieces before replying... just highlight the part you want with your mouse, hit the icon, and go from there... check how it looks before you hit send, because if you end up with "quote" written all over the place, just delete the extra bits... takes a little practice, I guess, but it isn't rocket science...

Can someone please tell me which of my quotes actually looks right?

See? Like that...

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.

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

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 🙂

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

fair enough

jadetrucker43 said:It’s really not that complicated... A standard quote:

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. 😉
