nagamaki - Franco Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hello Colin, I've tried everything I can think of to get the person quoted into the dark band above the actual quote, such as... If I'm understanding the question correctly; 1) Go to the post you wish to quote > highlight the quotation you wish to copy with mouse > then click "quote" in the corner of that same post where you just highlighted the quote you wish to use > the quote should then appear with attribution to the author of the quote in a post reply window. This can also be done after you click post reply. Hope this is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. Much appreciated. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yep, however that quote button usually quotes the entire post. To manually do a quote, the syntax is: blah blah blah You can copy the text you wish to quote, and then type the above in manually to only quote a portion. You must include the " " and the [ ] as these are part of the forum "language" Regards, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, indeed it does Brian, unless you open a post reply first, then highlight, then click quote. It seems to behave differently (the exception), if your reply is the first one in the thread, replies thereafter it quotes the entire post.
