Click on quote Sue then write your message underneath the quote.  If it is not working then you have a problem...and I'm the last person to help out with that!

Perhaps you underestimate you abilities that advice is spot on.

If you don't want to quote the whole post you can simply delete the characters you don't need but make sure  /quote is still at the bottom of the text you are quoting or the forum won't know where the quote ends and your reply begins :)

Yes that correct and if you look in the reply box you should see the post you wanted to quote is there in full.

All I did here as click on the quote icon at the top of your post and type this text, seems strange thats it's not working for some, you've not been fiddling with your settings have you :)

I just realised what you are doing wrong, you are clicking reply then the insert quote button (the one that looks like a speech bubble), don't do that, all you need to do is click the quote icon above the post you want to quote, no need to hit reply. It's just above the word insert on the first line of this post :)

is this it

I dont have a speech bubble.. its just a small grey box with insert quote.  It keeps taking me to the quick reply box.

Dunno then, you should just click on the grey box labelled "quote" in the top right corner of the post you wish to use and it does all the work for you. From what you have said it appears you are doing everything right.

Dont give up blondegirl, if i can manage it you can!

Click on where it says insert quote, then it will open up to a reply box with the quote in there, you then type underneath what you want to say.  You can also delete some of the quote if its just a specific part you want to quote.

Sorry it doesnt say insert quote, it just says Quote at the top of the post next to modify, just click on that and the rest is as i said.  It literally does it all for you.
Title: Re: Blonde moment!
Post by: blondegirl on June 05, 2007, 12:25:18 PM
sometimes mine doesnt say modify... when I do insert quote it doesnt go with me, if you see what I mean.. I end up in the reply section "all on my own".



I think I will go and dye my hair!!

Post by: Smiffypink on June 05, 2007, 12:41:16 PM
Sorry i see what you mean, yes it should only say quote, it only has modify on your own posts, so yes just click on quote which is the only icon at the top of the post and it should do it??

Whichever post has the quote you want to use, click the Quote icon corresponding to that post, it will then display that quote.

Yep well done :-D !

Well there is nothing wrong with the forum software as I've tried it on four different computers and it all works fine, the issue must be at your end but can't think what it is, if everything else is working there is no reason that it shouldn't work.

To see if eveyrthing is working properly you can insert a manual quote, type the below for me in your next post and see what happens, type it exactly as shown but where you see the letters qte please change them for the word quote:

[qte=Joe] Hello [/qte]

If you do that you should hopefully get the following result:

Well its works fine when you type the code in manually so there is now problem on your computer either.

Are you sure you clicking quote, not clicking reply then insert quote?
