How to post a Quote

[fatt-dad]

Dear NG,

So when you want to post to an earlier post and clip a quote to reference, how do you do it? I guess the quote button must have something to do with it, but I don't get it.

Before the first word you want to quote place this code: [quote]

after the last quoted word, place the same code, only with a / inside the brackets just in front of the word quote.

-John.

The second piece of code looks like this: [/quote]

(I added this as an edit.)
To post a quote from an earlier post, click the quote button above the post you want to quote.
You'll get a new page with a space to type your post and another space with the post you want to quote in it. You can edit the quote by highlighting and deleteing parts of it, or even adding things to it.
Type in what you want to say in the space provided and click post.

The 'clipped' quote is below 'your comments' typing area. #use the scroll bar at the RH side of your browser. #It's below your comments in the edit mode, but the clipped quote is above your text when displayed.
I guess this is where 'look down to see what's comming up' tag line comes from. #Then you have to scroll a little farther, below the 'clipped' quote section to click the "Add Reply' button.

This is a clean site fatt-dad! And sorry about the misspelling I never know how many consonants to double on those Scandanavian names! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
