Sorry, Numpty Technophobe question!
 

How do you "Quote" someone and then have it come up in that nice blue box?

Sorry if it's blindingly obvious, hate these computer thingy's!!

Cheers boys, :}

To the right of the 'insert image' button theres a 'wrap quote tags around selected text' button. Copy and paste the text to be quoted in between the [ QUOTE ][ /QUOTE ].

i.e. [ QUOTE] quoted text here [ /QUOTE]. :ok:

An even easier way:

In the post you wish to quote, click on the REPLY button.
When the page opens, look in the Internet Explorer address bar and REMOVE the following from the end of the line: &noquote=1
Press ENTER

The page will then refresh with the message in the required place, you can remove surplus text if required.

Sorry, I said I hate these things......

Where do I find the insert image button? :ugh:

The Wrap (quote) button is the last symbol on the right directly above the text box. Next to the insert picture button that looks like a picture of 2 mountains and the sun.

:ok:

When you reply, you do so in message text box. Directly above that text box there are 2 rows of icons. Look at the lower row (ie immediately above your message box. The icon at the far right end looks like a comic bubble.

1. First find your quote from another message and highlight it and then copy.
2. Open up your reply message box
3. Click on the speach bubble and quote brackets will appear on both sides of the text cursor. Right click and hit paste. hey presto

Hope this helps

You mean like that!!! :8

I now feel technologically advanced, Yippee

Many Thanks

Welcome to the future Dude.:D

I wonder if the guys and gals over in the " Computer/Internet Issues & Troubleshooting" forum know that .... :confused:

ps. joke .... honest :p

If its the Guys and Gals in the computer section where I work, I seriously doubt it.

And I am not joking...HONEST.

Why has the quote button next to the reply button been removed?

That was the easiest way.

I guess it was removed in order to stop people quoting other people.

Very true, but doing it the way explained earlier isn't difficult.

Well thanks YHGH, I have always wondered but been too shy/cant be ar*sed to ask. Thanks to all the other posters for their useful replies.

Did I just say poster and useful in the same sentence :)

Using less keystrokes, just change the 1 to a 0 and press ENTER :}

Hey....It works!!! Gobsmacked.

I really should have worked harder at school, but then again, how do you guy's come up with stuff like that!!!

You really should have worked harder in the English lessons! Apostrophe not required for a plural:=

Ah well thats easy you highlight the word's you want in bold and then you press ctrl and B.:uhoh:

This pretty much covers most forums you visit, except some use XHTML which uses <> instead of [ ]

Worked hard enough at school to do that, and I've got 2 kids at home to supply sarcasm, thanks! :ok:
