I'm not following this
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 quoteThis is what you will get if you just highlight some (pasted in?) text and click the https://www.waccobb.net/forums/images/editor/quote.gif icon.
To add the poster's name, just add it with a preceding "=" like this: {quote=Barry}some text to quote{/quote} which yields:
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:
some text to quote
Note the https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/orangebuttons/viewpost.gif which is a link to the original message. This is the form that https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/orangebuttons/quote.gif<!-- wacco make post number a link to this post within the thread #1 (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=61439&postcount=1) --> uses. You can find the postid by clicking on the post number (ie: #1 ) in the thread on the website.
Clear? If not, please ask a specific question.
I look forward to seeing your well-formatted quotes and witty non-confrontational replies! :wink:
