[-QUOTE=Pearlgem;730105]Someone please tell me how to quote!

I can press the quote button and highlight text but I don't know how to transfer that onto my own reply.
If you start your reply first how do you then quote?
How do you quote from multiple sources and still keep a hold of your own reply?

Thank God I can at least 'submit new thread'!

Many thanks[-/QUOTE]

If you press the quote button, it begins a reply with the full post you are quoting between [-QUOTE=poster-name] [-/QUOTE] (minus the dash, which I added so you can see the code.)

Erase the parts you don't want to keep, add your own comments before the [-QUOTE] or after the [-/QUOTE]

If you're moving the quote to a post in another thread, after getting the quote, cut the entire thing, go to the thread you want it in, and paste it. Again, add your comments before or after.

If you are in the middle of the post and want to fetch a piece in to quote... highlight and copy it. Either click the button that looks like a dialogue button (it says wrap text in quotes if you hover your mouse over it) and paste the quote between the two bits of quote-code. Add an =name if you desire... or just type [-quote] and [-/quote] before and after the part you're quoting.

I sometimes split a long quote into parts so my comments are interspersed. That's just a matter of typing [-/quote] my new comments[-quote] between the parts you want to separate.

Get it?
Got it?
Good!!
