Can figure out how to quote more than one person.

How do you quote two or more different people in one reply?

Oooohhh, I see.

Thanks, but do you have to put the quote marks in front and at the end of them? Let's see, it goes Is that it?

That's funny the quote brackets disappeared when I typed them in. Try again, [ quote] [ /quote] (but without the spaces, right?)

below the box that you write your reply in, simply scroll down to the post where the words are you want to quote.

Place the cursor at the start of the sentence, hold the left mouse button down and move the cursor along the sentence to highlight it. Let go of the button. Right click on the highlighted sentence and choose Copy from the menu that pops up. Go back to your reply box and place the cursor where you want the sentence to go. Right click and this time, choose Paste from the pop up menu.

Highlight the sentence again, then click on the



balloon image at the top of the box.

Repeat to add as many lines of text as you wish. You may add the poster's name in front of each box if you wish.

You can also add who you're quoting by adding an = sign at the end of the word quote in the first set of brackets (at the beginning of the part you're quoting) and after the = sign, type their name. Keep it all in the brackets and voila, you've quoted as many people as you want to in a single post.

You've almost got it Nomad. Here's what I mean: You copy and paste the part you want to quote. Then you highlight it and wrap the quote tags around it. (That little icon that appears earlier in the thread.) Then you can add the persons name like this: [quote=Nomad] You've already got the "quotes" wrapped around it, you just add the = sign and the person's name. Am I making ANY sense at all???

Nomad just recently sent me a package, Cher, and I didn't look at the address on it, until the postman said, (with a completely straight face, mind you,) "Got a package here for Cuddles." He'd put that next to my name in parentheses. I got a great laugh out of that. :yh_rotfl
