There is no need to quote the post directly above, it’s safe to assume that you will be on the same topic as the previous post.Also there is no need to quote an entire post, just quote what is relevant and delete the rest.The lessons.....TO ADD NEW REPLY (Appears after the last post on each page)This will launch the Add Reply feature in a new window without quoting any prior posts. The easiest option however is to use Fast Reply - right at the bottom of the page you should see this box...Just click in it and start typing. It only has limited functionality compared to the Add Reply feature, but if you need to access these advanced features you can also launch the New Reply window by clicking on “Use Full Editor” (this will carry over any text you’ve already entered)TO QUOTEThis button automatically quotes the post adjacent to it, and opens a new reply window.This button allows you to select multiple posts to quote. Click this button next to each relevant post (it will change to a darker colour to signify the post is selected) then click on the New Reply button at the bottom of the page, you will then be presented with something similar to this in the new reply window.....[quote]Text sample one[/quote][quote]Text sample two[/quote]You then can enter your responses in the gaps.....[quote]Text sample one[/quote]First response[quote]Text sample two[/quote]Second ResponseWhich will give you.....Text sample oneFirst responseText sample twoSecond ResponseAnd that’s that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
