How do I quote from other people's posts?

Post by Amarstone »

Sorry for sounding stupid, but how do I lift quotation from other people's posts? I can't seem to do it properly with the blue box. If someone could explain how to do it, I would be really grateful: my dds can't do it either!

There's a little icon whic looks like Image at the bottom of each post. Click on that and it will create a reply box for you with the quoted text already there. You can than remove some of it if you only want to quote part of their message.
Or you can just type it like this

Code: Select all

 [quote="username"] copy and paste the text you want to quote here [/quote]
