Would you not just repeat the process? Not sure, will have to try that next.

entwisi · 14-08-2007, 20:39

I'll try and explain it is as simple as it gets, when I put something in ""'s just use teh text without the quotes i.e. ["sausages"] becomes [sausages]

to quote people you need your reply to include their text between two 'tags'. the first is a set of square brackets like this["quote=whoever"]. you can miss out the persons name and just have "quote" but its always better to say who you are quoting. after the text you want to quote you need to put an 'end tag' which is like this ["/quote"] . You shouldn't put the =name bit in teh end tag.

It's easy to get the first quote in - just use the quote button.

But before you do that go to the second quote that you want and highlight all the text then copy it. Go to the first quote and press the quote button and type your first comment then put your open quote marks then paste in your text and put your close quote marks.

This thread is hilarious to read.

Kate, you're not alone. I can't do it either, and I don't think I'm any the wiser now.
