I may be putting this in the wrong forum but how do I quote someone in a forum then add my comments below? I keep trying and can't seem to do it. Thanks!

If it's in the same thread, click on the quote button on the upper right side of the persons post you wanted to quote. Do this instead of clicking on "Post Reply". It will open a new screen with the entire post quoted, then you can type what you want to say.

look in upper right corner of the person's post

see the "QUOTE" button???

click it!

and the system will automatically open a posting window, with their comments already in it properly formatted.

and....

if you want to learn to do it all on your own:

format is:

{quote="name of person"]what you want to quote, yadah, yadah[/quote}

the "" around the name are required AND replace the front { with a [ and the back } with a ] (for explanation purposes had to replace the square brackets with curlicue brackets so auto format wouldn't kick in.

I got a chuckle out of this thread because I've been wondering the same thing! Thanks for the question and thanks for the answers. Now I can go do my dishes knowing I learned something new already this morning icon_smile.gif

See SueW, you helped a lot of people by posting this. When I first signed up it took me awhile to move around the board.
