Then, after the [quote but before the closing square bracket ] type =name-of-the-nob-your-quoting. An equals sign followed by the person's name. PPRuNe will do the rest.
Hmmm, I couldn't have made that more confusing if I'd tried.
Make it look like this, but use square brackets instead of round ones...
(Quote=user-name)text you want to share(/quote)
It's the "=username" that does the trick.
And one more way.
Go to the foot of the webpage. You will probably see, at bottom left
---Pprune vB3 Googleads Style.
Click on the down arrow to the right of the text, and a drop down menu appears.
Sinlge left click on either
Pprune No Ads Style
or
vBulletin 3
Allow the page to refresh.
The 'reply' button at the bottom right of previous posts - including the one you wish to quote - should turn from 'reply' to 'quote'
Click that, and one of your parents has a sibling called Robert. Quote and post away...
(I am not sure if this affects advertising revenue for Pprune, so after I've quoted, I make sure that I turn it back to ---Pprune vB3 Googleads Style just so that I'm not accidentally denying the site revenue by having it on permanently; doing this still takes less time and fuss (at least for me), so I hope that anyone doing this would adopt the same approach, just in case)
