By "quote function" I assume you're using "Reply With Quote" at the bottom right of your post?

yes,

oops, need 10 character!

To reply to your message I just clicked, "Reply With Quote", and got this box. At the top of the box is

So, what I did was put my cursor right after the bracket at the end of the last "QUOTE]" and hit enter a couple of times to get a couple of lines below your text, to start my response. Hope that helps. Happy vaping!

I see! In your original post, the brackets [ ] you had around the word "quote" in the sentence confused the dickens out of the machine and it broke the quoted text at that point. Does that make any sense?

When you are in the box where you can type your message the tags (the brackets and stuff that tell the page what to do with it) show up. Once you post, the software turns the html tags into what you want to see. Smae thing with colors, special text,, and all that jazz. and smilies

you can also use the wrap quote button when you are trying to quote different parts. Just remeber to start the "quote" and end the "/quote" and you should be fine

Everything between a pair of "[QUOTE...]" ... "[/QUOTE]" 'tags' appears in a blue quote box. When you break up sentences, you are interrupting the quote tags.

Just make sure that what you want to be in a quote box starts with "[ quote]" and ends with "[ /quote]" (without the spaces in front of the "q" and the "/"). The other stuff in the starting quote tag just adds the "Originally posted by ..." to the quote; it's not needed after the first one if all the sections are from the same quoted post.

"(without the spaces in front of the "q" and the "/")."

I think that's where I'm going wrong...I'm trying this by zero cools suggestion.

 

[damselle]

[damselle]

Or go to the Advanced editor and look at the actual code being used, sometimes that tells you what is happening better.
