AltGr + G = ]

And this is how you do it without the arrow but keeping the name?

And obviously, if you don't care about the name OR the link, a plain old

works fine.

And this is how you do it if you aren't even mentioning the user...

And obviously, if you just want a quote without any names or links attached, a regular . does the trick.

tags around selected text"

If you're trying to grab a bunch of different posts at once, just hit that "Multi-Quote" button (it's right next to the regular Quote button) on every post you want to include, except for the very last one. Then, just click the standard Quote button on that final post you're aiming for.

just testing things out

just seeing if I can get the hang of this...

Still practicing! This should be it!

urbanhawk17 said:just click what I 'circled' and wrote 'this' above

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 🙂

that first massive quote right next to the username...

Round two, let's go...

If you still can't get it to work after this, I'll sit down tomorrow and write out every single step for you, from A to Z...

Third attempt...

I know exactly how you feel...😉

Thanks a million...😉

shadowraven23 said:Well, here is my take on it...

because once you highlight and hit quote,

I am telling you for the hundredth time...

Quote:

you forget to delete that giant quote box that pops up when you click the quote icon at the bottom of a post. You really ought to wipe out that initial quote before you even start typing your response. But if you do that, you lose the username of the person you’re replying to and the link back to their original post. So, what I always do—and this is my go-to move—is just cut the end of the post and paste it onto the end of the first section you want to comment on, then apply that "highlight then quote" method to the rest of the message.

I hope I finally made sense thanks to you... thank you...🙏

shadowraven23 said:Yeah....

that first big QUOTE right next to the username...

I'm listening......

If this doesn't work for you, I'll write out every single step for you tomorrow, from A to Z...

I'm learning........

I know how it feels for you...😉

Thanks.....

I really need some help here...

, yeah, let me give this a shot too

everyone else seems to be doing it, but I’m totally clueless when it comes to this stuff,

it probably won't work...

so if someone could just explain it to me

how?

velvetsailor26 said:If you’re looking to pull in several different posts at once, here’s how you handle it. For every post you want to include—except for that very last one—just hit the Multi-quote button. Once you click it, the Multi-quote button will turn red, which is just its way of letting you know those specific entries are queued up. When you finally get to the last post you want to reference, just tap the regular Quote button. That should wrap everything up and leave you with all your selected posts neatly cited in your reply.

Once you click that button, it turns red, which is basically its way of telling you that specific post is queued up for a multi-quote. When you're ready for the final one, you just hit the standard Quote button. That should give you a single reply containing all the posts you picked out.

redhawk76 said:No, that wouldn't quite work the way you're thinking...
Where am I missing the mark? If you could provide some more specific guidance, I’d appreciate it.

My current process is a bit of a cumbersome workaround—I tend to hit Quote, copy the entire block, strip out the parts I don't need, write my response, then paste the whole thing back in just to prune it again, and repeat the cycle indefinitely.

whatever

I usually handle this through a much more convoluted process—I hit Quote, copy the entire block,

strip out the parts I don't need, write my reply, then paste the whole mess back in, delete the clutter, answer, and repeat the cycle indefinitely...

Got it?

whatever

If you’re looking to pull in several different posts at once, just hit that "Multi-Quote" option (it's right next to the Quote button) on every message you want to include except for the very last one, then simply click the Quote button on the final post you're targeting.

Everything will automatically wrap itself up in Quote tags, which means you can easily trim out any fluff, bold the parts that actually matter, or weave your own thoughts right in between the various quotes.

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.
