I know this is not a tech problem... but was not sure where to find this or where to ask...

I see people that have different quotes in boxes that they refer to those quotes. How do I put different quotes in boxes... even from different posts?

Thanks.

In the "Instant UBB Code" bos under the smilies, click on Quote and you'll get this:

quote] [/quote

--except that on each end there is another bracket [ ] (if I put them in there now it won't show you what you'll see, it will only show you the quote box).

Paste copied text in between the 2 'quote' thingy's.

Sorry so technical..

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>

.. so this is how it would look if i was quoting you!

Yep,

You can also just type it in (which I prefer) when typing. I'm lazy and hate to reach down for the mouse...lol.

so, i copy the text i want to quote. before i paste it i type [quote.] right click and paste here, then type [/quote.] WITHOUT THE PERIODS

So if i would take the periods out it would've looked like this </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
right click and paste here, then type

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

another way to do it in a thread is just hit the quote button instead of respond. if you don't want the entire post quoted, just go in and delete what you don't want there.

When you wish to quote from different sources, you need to either use a PM window, or a thread window...

With a thread window (like this one I'm typing in after another's post)

copy and paste the quote, add in the [ quote ] (text) [ /quote ] bracketing, and then COPY all that from the window, so you have the first quote.

If you need to cut and paste another quote from another thread... go to the reply window of that thread's quote you want. First PASTE the first quote you just copied, THEN you are free to copy the quote from the thread you are in, and add it to the same window, add the quote brackets and THEN COPY the entire window of text (which at this point has BOTH of the quotes you want. (You don't have to follow through with posting the post, just leave the page and it won't post to public.)

IF your quotes are from outside sources, use a word processor document page on your computer, or use your PM access to send yourself the quote, then after copying the next quote, FORWARD the original quoted PM to yourself, adding in the new quote. This way, you have both quotes in the same window, and can copy them altogether to take out to the forums for a complete post.

Now have I totally confused you?

Yep. But that's easy to do.

Well, one could always go ahead and post the one quote they have, then go find the other quote(s) and return and EDIT the post, each time to add the next quote, eventually having everything there.

That's ok the memory just isn't what it use to be but I've printed all the posts.
Thanks

ooohhhh kkkkkk....now i get it

YEY LOOK AT ME... I CAN DOO IT ....small feat but very proud of myself

[kimmydawn]

Yep, you can click the quote box and respond directly to them with a quote; or...

You can use the above with the bracket to quote just parts, or make text stand out. Of course, if you're using just a part of a person's post in quote, you can still click the quote button and delete out what you don't want as well.
