how do i do multiple quotes in a reply???

[honeybee]

hi, when i reply to someone i know how to quote it but how do i just quote sections of the post??? i know there's a multiple quote button but cant figure out how to do it... soz for being so slow...

[nomorepanic]

The important parts are the [ quote ] and [ /quote ]

Note that I had to put spaces round it or it wouldn't show up on here as it would be taken as a quote!

So you must leave the [ quote ] at the start of the text and the [ /quote ] at the end so you can just deleted the text that you don't want in between those bits.

If you want to multi-quote the text then just type in [ quote ] text text text [ /quote ] without the spaces of course and where "text text text" can be the copied text from the post you are quoting.

Does that make sense?

You may have noticed 3 buttons in the bottom right hand corner of messages that you are reading. They look like this;

This one will take you to the Reply Box with a quote from the particular message you clicked the icon.

This one will allow the Multi-Quote feature. When you click it, it will turn red. You can then move onto another post and click the icon again. Each post you click this icon, will provide a quote in your reply box. Once you have selected all the posts you want to quote, click the 'Add Reply' button at the bottom left of the last post.

This is just if you want to compose a 'Quick Reply'. It won't give you the options for Emoticons, Fonts, Colours etc etc.

Once you have your quote in the reply box, as Nic said, the quotes will be surrounded by [ quote ] at the beggining and [ /quote ] at the end.

Feel free to test this as much as you want in the SandBox area of the Forum. This can be found by clicking Here! (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=40)
