Quoting From another Member's Post

Hello All,

I have noticed of late, some members quote a lot of previous posts, yet are not too sure how to get them looking right for clarity.

If you quote in just the standard text... it is difficult for readers to see who is actually "talking" and what section of the post is actually yours.

Here is a very quick guide I have put together to help anyone who may like to quote from any thread and post they see in future.

1st picture.... is a demo post I put up, together with a quoted section from it in the following post. This is how your "quoted" sections CAN LOOK !

2nd Picture.... shows the text editing box with how you actually see the post once you press the "QUOTE" button in the posters thread. That is located on the lower right of the post.

3rd Picture.... shows how I edited the post to leave the section behind I actually wanted.

4th Picture.... shows how you can add extra text or even make several quotes, whilst putting in the correct "html" codes to provide the shaded box that makes the quotes clearer.

Hope some old and NEW MEMBERS can make use of the information.

Best Regards,
Ian.
