Hi,
When I hit the quote button and post up a response to the quote, the quote isn't highlighted with a red box and " symbol?
The quote does appear at top of my response post, but isn't highlighted the way all others are. Even see multiple quotes on a single thread and all are highlighted?
How do I do that?
Thanks, Greg

at the end of the post you are trying to quote.Broncodawg wrote: at the front of the post you want to quote (note that last ] should be right at the end rather than a space there - I had to put that space in to show the actual text instead of just quoting this). You also then need the
To do the multiple quotes in 1 post you have to edit your post and add the multiples. Many sites have a "multi-quote" function but this one doesn't so it takes some effort to do that. It bugs me to have a bunch of posts in a row so I will take the time to edit and put multiple quotes in 1 post.

Re: Quoting others posts? / Multiple quotes
Multiple quotes are possible here but it's done in the reply page and not when you're reading the thread like vb software.
In the reply page (the one I'm using to type this response), the thread is reviewed at the bottom. You can click the quote button in the review and the quote will be added to your response.
So, when reading the thread, click the quote button in the first post you want to quote, then when in the reply page, scroll down and add the other posts you want to quote.
Does that make sense?

Here's a screen capture that might help. You can click the circled buttons when in the reply page and it will add those to the text (reply) box.

Aha! I've always hit the quote button on posts before I hit reply rather than on the reply page.ChaseTruck754 wrote:Awesome - never knew that was possible. Thanks Steve.
I get it now, thanks,
