Title: quoting posts


DavidC - June 17, 2008 01:36 AM (GMT)
Many posts quote people in a way that has their name and time of post in parentheses. Is there an automatic way to do that? If there is a special way or syntax could you post it (or the syntax anyway?) I cannot always get it to work.

David,

I created this post by first clicking on the Quote button in the upper right-hand corner of your post. The software then automatically created the quotation box with your name, etc. Try it on this quote, and let's see what happens.

Thanks. Actually I figured it out soon after I posted, but then I was not logged in to say that... but maybe your reply will help new members.
