    FAQ – Quote function

    There are two methods/uses of the “Quote” function.

    When you are reading posts on the board you will notice in the upper right hand corner this button
    When you press this, your screen will change to the reply screen and the forum will have already added the script of the post you are quoting. This is especially useful in a busy topic and readers automatically know which post your reply refers to.

    As you can see, when you press the quote button, even if that post has several quotes in place it will copy those as well. You can edit the quoted text, remove bits, add emphasis etc, just remember to leave the bracketed codes in place.

    The other quote function can be used as a form of emphasis on your post and uses the button in the reply screen.

    As before, type the words you want to appear in the quote section of your post, highlight them and click the “Quote” button. They will be wrapped within the on and off code for quotes

    But will appear in the post like this

    Quote code is added

    You can use more than one quote section in your post.

    TAKE CARE – where you add your text, otherwise it could end up hidden within the quoted section.

    As you can see, when you press the quote button, even if that post has several quotes in place it will copy those as well. You can edit the quoted text, remove bits, add emphasis etc, just remember to leave the bracketed codes in place.

    Make sure you type after the last [/quote] piece of code
