Using Quote's

[Fred]

Multi-Quotes, are a little bit harder to understand but they are just as easy once you get the hang of it.

Why would you want to use Multi-Quote?

You use them to quote more than one post, so lets say you want to reply to post number 1 and post number 3 at the same time.
*In post number 3 I will remove some text to show a reply to a relevant part.

like this.

Here is a little tutorial on how to use Quotes in your posts, I've noticed some of are having problems and are not sure how to use them.

So first off you will need to start a new thread in the [Group Specific] board. Just start your thread as normal and title it whatever you want, if you don't know how to start a thread see here: Starting a new thread Put something in your post and post your thread.

Now it would be handy if you can ask another member to help as you need other posts to quote. You can quote your own if you want for the test, but I wouldn't want you to be Billy No Mates. (So if you can't find anyone to help let me know and I will be your buddy)

To use quotes you need to use two simple pieces of code, the first is an opening code and the second is the closing tag. You put your quote between the opening and closing tags. To give you an idea this is not a usable code as they are all different but notice the difference between the open and the close, the close has a /

[open] THIS IS THE QUOTE [/closed] it's as simple as that, I will explain the different codes as we go on.

Move on to the next post where you will find out about the different types of quote.

Thank you, but I still don't have a clue.

Now to look how the above was achieved, the quote from Wikipedia is inside the following codes.

I like Wikipedia.

Remember we said to quote a post we needed the Username, tid, and dateline ?

No! you've forgotten that bit. Go back and start again.

If you look bottom right of a post you will see the "Multi Quote" button click it and the green + will change to a red - do this for each post you want to quote and click "New Reply" it will add all the codes and the content ready for you to post.

It will look like this.

Code:

[quote='Fred' pid='10460' dateline='1389264663']
THE 1st POST IS HERE
[/quote]

You can add as many quotes as you want but be careful it can look messy. Once you have practised the Multi-Quote and got the hang of it come back here for more.
