Let's see if I can get this quote thing down

This seems complex for even me....a bonafide smarty pants. Ok, let's give it a go.

OK, let me try again.... Quotes are enclosed in a matching set a of tags enclosed in square brackets. I'll use curly brackets "{ }" instead of square brackets "[ ]" so as not to trigger actual quoting in this post outside of the examples.

The basic quote format is {quote}some text to quote{/quote}. Note the forward slash "/" in the close quote tag (remember, you'll use square brackets rather than curly ones).

So the above sample quote would look like this:

some text to quote


This is what you will get if you just highlight some (pasted in?) text and click the icon.

To add the poster's name, just add it with a preceding "=" like this: {quote=Barry}some text to quote{/quote} which yields:


Barry wrote:
some text to quote



Then, to add a link to the post that the quote came from, add the postid preceeded by a semicolon, like this: {quote=Barry;61774 }some text to quote{/quote} which yields:

Barry wrote:
some text to quote



Note the which is a link to the original message. This is the form that uses. You can find the postid by clicking on the post number (ie: #1 ) in the thread on the website.

Wow, I got that by doing this [QUOTE=Barry]
