oh hang on ... just noticed John you did multiple boxes in one reply... so how does that work if hit quote on your text then need text from someone else's?? because if I come out of my text box to get second quote do I lose everything?

Need second cuppa for dual text quote!!!

On the right hand side there is an icon to multi quote (left one if for single quote, so you just click on the two or more posts you wish to use then on the last post you want to quote press the normal quote

RAF Bird is right the quote bits at the start of the text and the end must remain intact or it wont work


You can always cut and paste the text that you want, highlight it then hit the quote button (looks like a speech bubble).

If you scroll down under your message box there is a topic review panel which shows the last 10 posts so you can cut and paste from this rather than using the back button.

Good luck:pDT_Xtremez_30:

Get a grip bird :)
Our generation invented these "magic Telly's", as GEM calls them :pDT_Xtremez_14:

:) Scaley.. this bird has a firm grip!! but on me black coffee not on the old brain cells and now reading all instructions ready to give it a whirl... smile on my face thinking if I have to be thick I at least do it to the max!!

Failing all else will do old fashioned way and copy and paste and leave it at that. Right.. here goes....

Erm... now on text box and currently forgotten all instructions!!!

But thank you all :)

Magic new invention Bird............Pen/paper:pDT_Xtremez_30:

I think I know where you might have gone wrong,

When you see the text at the top of the reply message it will have [.quote= username 12345 ] and at the end of the text it will have [ / .quote ]

if you delete anything within the brackets [ ] or the brackets themselves but not the text you are quoting or change the colour of the brackets it will come up as part of your reply rather than in the quote box.

see easy, and its all as clear as mud

Right, have hit quote button this time on your reply instead of my reply so if this doesn't work then I am giving up... because it didn't work the other way round!

oh I did it !! right what confused me... and it doesn't take a lot I know... but did quote icon in my box not yours.. which of course then just left the words etc as quote.

My excuse is two things:

1- Female
2- Essex Bird

Say no more as no 2 explains all !! :)

(oddly I do have to change light bulb in lads room later so hopefully will manage that task)

Alright you co*ky s*ds.... have clicked multi quote on your box and now got two quotes but don't want one of them.. ok, can delete one of them but how do you get a quote from different reply at same time? or can you only multi quote with quotes on same reply?

Have now made third brew, frown in place and losing the will !!! this is far to technical for a Friday let alone the rest of the week!! :pDT_Xtremez_35:

And do I detect a hint of p*** taking here :)
