Using Quote's

[Fred]

Now we are going to quote the post above, or in your case the post from your buddy.

This is done with the following codes. (Notice the opening code contains the users name, the pid which is the post number, and the dat/time.)

Code:

[quote='Fred' pid='10473' dateline='1389267858']
QUOTE HERE
[/quote]

Right now you have got that you need to get your buddy to make a post in your thread, or IF you are Billy No Mates after all, you can make one yourself. Just a normal post and post it.

Go to the next post.

So you can see here I'm making a reply to the above post.

What I have to find a username, a pid, and a dateline before I can quote the post above?

No you don't need to find anything, all you need to do is click the Quote button bottom right of the post you want to quote. It will put the codes including the post and all you need to do is post under the closing code [/quote]

If you want to quote only part of the post, just remove the part you don't want from between the opening and closing tags.

Like this.

Code:

[quote='Fred' pid='10473' dateline='1389267858']
IF you are Billy No Mates after all
[/quote]

IF you are Billy No Mates after all

Off you go to your test thread and have a go, when you got it come back and go to the next post where you will learn Multi-Quote.
