I can only seem to quote whole posts, not certain chunks -when I tried, my comment ended up in the quote box itself - I must be doing something in the wrong order - can anyone help me!!??
Lubiloo, when you hit the "quote" button, the quote is put at the top of your post inbetween two pieces of code - one tells the system where the beginning of the quote is, and the other tells it where the end is. They look like this: [ quote] and [ /quote] (without the spaces). The first one may well have additional text in it, which allows the system to do the clever bit that gives the name and stuff of the quotee...
The important thing to remember, if you're editing the text in the quote because you only want to respond to part of the original post, is that you must make sure you start typing your response
after the [ /quote] command at the end of the quote.
So, making it transparent for the minute:
[ quote]
I can only seem to quote whole posts...
[ /quote]
would come out as
I can only seem to quote whole posts...
Just make sure you've spotted that close quote - [ /quote] command and the end and put your bit in afterwards When you've got that sussed, you can teach me how to do multiple quotes within a single post (with the reference coding)...
HTH
