Silveryder Posted May 9, 2007 #1 Posted May 9, 2007 The "quote" is one of the great features of this forum, because it shows exactly what the writer is referring to. I figured it was just a matter of copy/paste but it doesn't seem to work that way. I searched but came up empty. What is the trick? Please explain. Thanks

I couldn't figure out how to do the multiple quote thing until Freebird told me to click all the (")s at the lower right of the quotes I want to quote and then the post reply button.

As above, you can key anything you want into the text and make it appear as a quote by using the [ ] keys on your keyboard... " [ " then " quote=JimBob " then " ] " then " body text " then " [ " then " /quote " then " ] " (leave out the " and the spaces and of course the word "then") I had to do it this way otherwise it winds up as a quote.
