Question...

#1 Post by musical74 » Wed Oct 19, 2005 7:12 pm

I'll see someone post in a reply *mikey says: <whatever>* but when I try to do that myself it doesn't say anything about who said it, just what was copied. What am I doing wrong?? I know this seems like a newby question, but there have been times I've wanted to respond to a part of someone else's post - but when I tried to put the piece that was relevant it didn't mention them at all, just what they had said earlier...help on this PLEASE? :)

You can either click the quote button by someone's post, and then cut out the parts you don't need, or you can set the name attribute for the the quote BBcode tags. If you don't know how to do that, just click the BBCode link below the emoticons when you're composing a message

EDIT:
Name attribute? What was I thinking? There's no name attribute O_o... You just put something like [quote="Person who says cool stuff"], and then put the closing tag after the quote

When you click the Quote button, you can see that it adds ="(username)" inside the opening tag. So if you want to add the username while breaking up the original post, just add that snippet.
