Forums - How to QUOTE
#1
we spend a lot of time going through peoples posts where they have used the QUOTE feature incorrectly.
it's a very simple thing to do and is simple HTML (internet publishing language to non geeks ie what you are looking at now!)

So to use correctly.....
when you press the QUOTE BUTTON, you will notice your cursor (the flashing vertical line where you start to type) is between {QUOTE} & {/QUOTE}

This is where you type eg
{QUOTE} Hello UK FIRE {/QUOTE} will give you:
Quote:Hello UK FIRE


If you insert your text anywhere else eg
} Hello UK FIRE {/QUOTE} <<< missing the first part ie {QUOTE
then it will not work.

if you make a mistake and post, simply go back in and ensure that the text you want to quote is between {QUOTE} & {/QUOTE}

NB: please replace { and } in the above post with [ and ] respectively which i had to use as an example otherwise my explanation would have been
Quote: QUOTED

Not on an ipad it doesn't.

When you hit the quote button the giggle pin appears and the throttle must be enabled and then use the typewriter, then hit the play and record buttons together.

While we are on quotes, don't just hit quote and comment, some post are huge and the point you are refering to is somewhere in the middle, hit quote and edit the un-needed bits please!

And it's always good to capture something that someone has said that they may wish to deny having said.
Remember, half the people you know are below average
