How do I quote a previous entry in a reply? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

fresnelly · 05-22-2005, 07:26 PM

I tried checking the "Include Quote in reply" box but it won't select. Is there more to it? Also it doesn't appear in the Advanced reply choice. (the FAQ seems to be out of order)

under the post you want to quote, there should be a button labelled "quote." You want to hit that. It'll take you to the advanced reply with what you want ready-quoted for you.

Took a little trial & error to get the box around it.

HTML Code:

Might as well try out the smilies, too, while I'm at it

Thanks for the help! But how do I change the tiny message above the box from "HTML Code" to "Quote:"??

? you use 'quote' tags, not 'html' tags.

in other words, where your post (go into edit) has 'HTML' replace with 'QUOTE'
