How do you do "Ron Wrote" then the box part.....?

Post by Guest » Tue Jul 20, 2004 5:16 pm

I see you guys copying part of a post and putting it in your reply inside a box ... I can only copy and paste text into the post and don't get the identified box.... How is it done...?

the little "quote" bubble in the upper right corner will get you there.
and you can edit out text you don't want as well. (between the
code).
hope that helps.

In addition to the answers you got from SM and Zona, you can also click on the Quote button that appears below the subject box on the "Post a reply" screen. More information on how BBCode works is available here.

Anything purple is mine. Anything else can be dyed or painted.

It's an issue of formatting, Wildeone. When you type a left bracket no space quote = "Name" right braket everything following that text will be in a box and following the Name said label. This will continue until you type left bracket no space backslash quote no space right bracket. That's more confusing that it has to be in my efforts to avoid inputing formatting commands. :)

So we have

And so on. Also the preview button will let you take a peak at your post before it goes to make sure your formatting is cool. Make sense?

Ron who only helped because he saw his name in the subject line. He's a vain bastard that way...;)
