Quotes And Quoting
 

O.K. where to start? Well, what is a quote?

We use a quote when we want to refer to what someone has already mentioned or after finding something that was said out there on the www.

There are a few ways we can do it.

Method 1/ After reading what has been said in a post:-

We can either press the http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...tons/quote.gif or the http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...quickreply.gif Button in the bottom right hand corner of the box we are reading.

As we want to quote what has been said we will press the http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...tons/quote.gif button

Re: Quotes And Quoting
 

This gives us the whole of that post.

We might not want all of the post, so we can modify it.

Left click and hold at the beginning of the words you do not require and pass the cursor over them until all you wish to remove is highlighted in blue, they will then be removed, when you press the backspace key..

Below is the same post altered:-

Then make sure that the cursor is flashing after the [/quote] at the end of what you want and you can type your reply. Pretty easy?

Re: Quotes And Quoting
 

another way to use quotations is when you have read through a long rambling thread,(such as this), and the person finally gets to the point, such as:-

"There you go, quoting is quite easy really".

You can use the http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...itor/quote.gif quotation marks above.

This time what you do is copy just what you require from the post, by holding down the left button and highlighting it, right click select copy then press the
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...quickreply.gif button.

Re: Quotes And Quoting
 

So we have copied the bit we want, now we need to put it between the quotation marks,
left click http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/s...itor/quote.gif [ QUOTE][/QUOTE] with a flashing cursor will appear between them right click and paste

[ QUOTE]"There you go, quoting is quite easy really"[/QUOTE]

Again write your reply, then submit.

I don't understand can we start again?:confused:

Thanks Uncle Less, sort of helpful.

Though I've just really confused my self, by hitting the air bubble icon on your post, and it was posted in my blog, rather than in this thread.

Hey, not so clever, Jaysay, you've got MY comment allocated to DaveinGermany! That could cause MAJOR problems on Accyweb!
