Ok, so i've noticed quite a few newbies to the forum have had difficulty quoting posts, and having to multi-post, and instead of writing it in every post after they've done it, i'll just put this here...

[size=3]How to Quote:[/size]
To quote a single post in a reply, simply click the "Reply" button in the lower right-hand corner of that post. You can then add your reply to that after the [/quote ] bb-code tag.

[size=3]How to Quote Multiple Posts[/size]
If you want to quote more than one post in your reply, instead of pressing the "Reply" button at the corner of the post, press the "Quote" button... Do this on every post you wish to quote, then once you are done, go to the bottom (or top) of the page and press the "Add Reply" button. You will then be able to add you reply to each quote directly after the [/quote ] bb-code tag.

NB: Any post that you quote will have it's quotes remove in your post to avoid massive quotes...
NB: You can have a maximum of 5 quotes in any single post, no more. If you go over, think about whether your reply is relevant and/or useful (so this excluded posts such as "lol! nice one", "qft", and the ever-hated "+1"), and remove the quote (from [quote ] to [/quote ]) from your post.

[size=3]BB-Code Quote Tag[/size]
Below is an example of how your quote should look in the editor. Make sure you have your quote in between the [quote ] and [/quote ]) tags.


Hope this helps... :P
and i hope you appreciate me going back and changing the ellipses to fullstops... xP

For some reason that maybe you can explain, I can't use the 'Copy' function when I
right click from Windows. ONLY on this board. I want to use this function to move
around quotes into the context of replies.

'Select All'
'Paste'

Jack else....

Any ideas? Is it something on my browser end? This is bullshit....

Sorry for the late return. Using Explorer. Trying to update to Ver.Whatever to see if it fixes it...

Trying Firefox as well.
