using quotes

these are the quote tags: the quote button automatically inserts the quote tags into the reply...


there is no easy way to add quotes from other posts.
the best method is to open a simple word editor (wordpad, notepad) or a blank e-mail message, and use that to compose your reply.

always preview your reply before submitting it...

The easiest way for me is to place the first quote using the quote function. Then, I'll minimize the current screen, open a2k again in a separate window, use the quote function again, and copy the text box contents with the new quote. Now, I minimize that window and copy the second quote into the original reply.

I can't say this is a bit easier, but it is less complicated than it sounds.

Me, I click on the quote button, stare at the quote, then just delete the parts I don't want to quote. No big deal.

click reply

click BBCCode editor (little green thingy below the Reply to line)

select from the array of functions eg.

and copy/paste inside the quote parameters

repeat ad nauseum

I don't see a "quote" button. How do I get this fixed?

Huh? What array of functions? When I click on the 'little green thingy' all that happens is the toolbar under the 'little green thingy' disappears. I dunno what to do next except go back to the thread and click on reply again.

Click on 'my preferences' at the bottom of this page, Advocate. It will take you to a menu of options including a quote button visible at each post.
