I keep quoting another and my replies wind up in their quote box! I am trying to figure out why this happens. Just ignore me.

Because I am trying to figure out how to stop this.

Move along people-there's nothing to see here. Move along.

Usually when you put someones words in a quote box, it is them you are replying to. My mistake-I thought thats who you were responding to.

Of course, I can't even seem to stop putting my replies in their quote box so what do I know?:B

{QUOTE}Usually when you put someones words in a quote box, it is them you are replying to. My mistake-I thought thats who you were responding to.{/QUOTE}

You post between the quoted areas

{QUOTE}Of course, I can't even seem to stop putting my replies in their quote box so what do I know?:B{/QUOTE}

Continue to write your reply.

Just use the [] instead of the {} I had to simulate.

I hope this works!!

Because I am trying to figure out how to stop this.

I will see if this ends up outside the quote box. Fingers crossed.

Move along people-there's nothing to see here. Move along.

I fear it has not worked....

Giving it one more try and trying to get 15 words strung together so it will be accepted, blah blag blah yadda yadda

Because I am trying to figure out how to stop this.

Move along people-there's nothing to see here. Move along.

Nope-not working I can tell because it is not counting my reply as a part of the 15 words needed. Giving me and the poor people I keep doing this to a headache!!!

[Richard H]

I fear it has not worked....

quotes always being with the word "quote" in square brackets.
They always end with "/quote" in square brackets.

Sometimes one end (of the quote box syntax) is missing.
Above I put your quote in a quote and then in a quote.
I wonder how it will look...

Richard please I beg of you my good man - describe exactly which buttons you pushed to display that magic!! I keep really goofing and putting my replies inside ppls quote boxes and someone might get really mad and stone me in here!

And then select it and color it white.
You can use it to put things out in space too. :)

[quote=Richard H;1855137]quotes always being with the word "quote" in square brackets.
They always end with "/quote" in square brackets.

I though to see if taking away the last quote thingy might work but I think it will still probably say I haven't got enough words to reply because it will consider this part of the quote. Worth a try though....

It's a secret!!! :rolleyes:


No really, I usually just code the text directly.
If you reply using the "quote" reply button, you'll see the BB code in square brackets.

You can also use the third button (icon) from the right (in the advanced text reply box).
See it? It looks like a dialog box - a speach balloon.
If you hover your mouse over it, it will tell you about quoting.




Then you can select a porton of your text and high-light it. Then click that little icon...
Et voila!

[paintdiva]

I have tried everything I can think of but nothing has worked. I don't want to keep doing this to people in here but I cannot figure out how to stop it!

I will try to multi-quote this post too.

To see if I can just figure it out by repetition and accidentally happen upon the correct way.

[Richard H]

[quote=Richard H;1855137]quotes always being with the word "quote" in square brackets.
They always end with "/quote" in square brackets.ß See here? You are missing the close part of the quote.
It looks like [ /quote ]
But with no spaces.

[quote=paintdiva;1855159]_________________________OK?

I still can't get it to do anything but let me quote a box and reply at the very end. I can't break it up to address the specific sentence or paragraph I want to .

[Richard H]

Using the little quote icon, you can copy a post into a word or outlook document and then edit it.
The paste it ino your reply and separate the quotes with multiple boxes.
…Sort of point for point replies.


I tend to use bolding to in my initial editing to keep everything separated.
Then after setting the quote boxes, I go back in and unbold the text.

[ quote ]This is how it works.[ /quote ]

Now take out the spaces in the brackets.
Leave this text here, becasue you need those 15 charactors.
Now hit "submit post".

[paintdiva]

Okay, I see. So what I am trying to do is impossible unless I cut and paste into another program not in bible forum. Well, at least that shows me that it isn't because I'm too stupid to figure out how multi-quote works...
Thanks, Richard.

And so I did not understand what you were saying but I highlighted just this section then hit php button then highlighted it again and hit code button and am going to see if this appears in your quote box or out of it.

Did not work-said not 15 characters because it is not counting my reply as a reply and see, it has appeared inside your quote box. It is okay-I do not think I have the mental acuity to get it.

[Richard H]

Thanks, Richard.You can add ar take away the BB Code right here in this little text window. It is just a matter of putting the bracketed code in place and making sure you close the quote using "/quote" in [ brackets ].

Richard do you seem to have a master degree in quotes ^_^

That quotes inside other quotes looks hard to do..

Let me try I could be useful in some thread (:

Now hit "submit post"You need to take out the spaces for bothe set of brackets. You got the closing quote, but not the begining one.

Just copy the stuff below the line.
Then paste it into a brand new - clean post
(don't use the quote reply button - but "post reply" at the top.)

Before you click submit--- look at the bracket code and make sure there are no spaces.
Look at the simplicity of the syntax.

PDiva, I posted in that Tongues thread as I didn't see this till now. It should help ya out.

I don't think you understand what I mean when I say "five years old in computer years.":spin:
I have heard of copy and paste but I have never known how to do it and I've checked all the buttons:code, php, undo, etc., but I have not found one that says either "copy" or "paste."

Thanks Slug. Richard is very, very adept on a computer and does not know how to speak to a 5 year old. He is light years past me. He told me to paste but anyone knows a five year old will just eat the paste!!

[Richard H]

Richard do you seem to have a master degree in quotes ^_^

That quotes inside other quotes looks hard to do..

Let me try I could be useful in some thread (:

LOL
It's just a matter of making sure the opening code for the quote is there - as well as that for the ending of the quote.

One someone gets that concept, the rest is simple.
Now you can you can play with the thisrd icon at top right - the "quote" looking speech baloon thingy.
Hightlight some text and click that icon. Et voila!
A QUOTE...



Then you can highlight everything you want to multi level quote - including the newly generated code brackets - and click the little icon again.

You can just type the code in yourself, once you get the hang of it.

[Richard H]

Thanks for trying to help Richard. You put up a valiant effort but I is not too edjumacated. I haven't really even gotten past being deathly scared of my computer yet. I'm going to see what slug posted in the tongues thread and if it doesn't help I will come back here and try to read from the beginning again to try to come up with some sort of step by step.
:hug::hug::hug:

[paintdiva]

HAHAHA! I did type in between your paragraphs! I hit quote and a box popped up with your post in it. I scrolled down to where I would like to answer and I started typing. But it doesn't say it is a post by me and it doesn't delineate it in any way. In fact, anyone reading it would think that what I said was actually part of what you said! Go back and look at where I did it. In two places I replied - one about tongues and one about grilling and to someone reading it, you would sound like Sybil!

Hahaha! You know why that goof-up occurred? Because I was somehow, even if remotely, involved!!! Hahaha!

[paintdiva]

I keep quoting another and my replies wind up in their quote box!

And I have figured out how to take a part of their quote and reply as I have done above, but I still can't figure out how to reply to a few different paragraphs in that post. Guess I will just have to post a few times to do it.

[Richard H]

Testing to see what this will do.Did it do what you wanted?
It looks like yer getting the hang of it. :)

[paintdiva]

Yeah, I'm okay. I still can't figure out how to insert answersor replies in a few different spots but I can always just hit quote and delete every part of their post I am not replying to and then do a new post to answer another part of their post. It will cause me to have to post more separate times than most in here but at least it works!

[paintdiva]

Did it do what you wanted?

For instance, if I wanted to reply to only your first sentence, I can do so like this. But then if I want to also respond to your second sentence or fourth paragraph or whatever, I would have to do it with another post as follows.

[paintdiva]

It looks like yer getting the hang of it. :)

Like so. I had to post two times but hey, it works.

[Richard H]

Now that you understand how to begin and end a quote, you can add the appropriate coding into the big original quote box.
Like this...
Yeah, I'm okay. I still can't figure out how to insert answersor replies in a few different spots Here I added a close quote code.

Now, I have to add an open quote code, so I can properly enclose the portion which followsbut I can always just hit quote and delete every part of their post I am not replying to and then do a new post to answer another part of their post. It will cause me to have to post more separate times than most in here but at least it works!You just have to be willing to edit inside that big quote box.

Pass the paste! Yummm...;)

If you want to reply to multiple people, you can go to the one person's post and click reply-with-quote.

Then highlight all the text and copy it.

Then click the back button and go to the other post you want to also reply to...

Now reply-with-quote and paste the first in there - where ever you want.
Like so...
I just moved our two posts from the Tongues thread to here but I only see this one... mine was lost :hmm:

Edit... wait, I see it way up as #2 post.
Here I pasted it below, but I could have put it above too.

Quoting can be FUN! :pp
Just remember to make sure everything is enclosed properly.

If it has a beginning - it must have an ending. ;)
