Quoting

D∆NTE · October 31st, 2009, 01:09 AM

Say youre searchin threw someones thread right. and you want to quote what someone said. i know how to do that, but how do you quote more than one persons reply without double posting. i got an infraction because i kept on double posting, (i was quoting what people were saying and i had to double post cause i ddin't know how to do this). any ways, i should have asked first. can someone please explain to me how you do this.

There's a button in the bottom right on the post boxes that says Q.R. That's 'Quote Reply'. So, it copies in quotations what the other person said and you can type out your reply. Also, EDIT does wonders.

THanks man, and your right, it does.

Oh, and if you don't wanna do that, you can copy and paste what another person said and put [quote] Whatever they said [/quote ]

Usually it's pretty easy just to copy what you want to quote, add it to your reply, and wrap the quote with quote tags. Here's an example if you're still not sure.

[quote]quoted text goes here[/quote]

your text goes here

[quote]another piece of text you want to quote[/quote]

more of your text

Does that help out any?

Well, if I want to quote multiple people, I usually open all the quote replies in separate tabs, then copy/paste all of them on to one reply and close the rest out.

That's what I did before, but the multi-quote option is easy to use and saves the trouble.

Alternatively you can just do what Pelafina said and simply crtl+c the text and put it between quote tags. You won't see the "originally posted by x" thing but the person in question will obviously know what they said so it's nothing to worry about.

Theres a button that says M.Q.
Click it and youll automatically qoute someone without entering the reply page. If you want to qoute another person, click M.Q. under teir post to qoute them. Then you can click reply and you have your qoutes set up.

I can't remember if I closed this earlier or not, but there are only so many times that people can say the same things.
