How to Quote text in a post
- Open the topic you are interested in responding to or start a new topic.
- Find the post you wish to quote from.
- If replying to an existing post click on the Reply button under that particular post. (
This is actually important because the system will create a link between this posts.) - Highlight the text you wish to quote in that post by holding down the left mouse button and moving the cursor over the text. You will see this:
- Click on the word Quote that appeared above the text you highlighted.
Voila! The text will appear where you placed your cursor in the editor where you are composing your post.
How to Quote multiple posts?
You can also place multiple quotes in your post to respond to more users at once. You can notice that while the editor is open you can still scroll up and down through the other posts. To add another quote find the post and text you want to quote and highlight it as before. Click on the Quote and that text is added at the location of your cursor in the editor.
You can even add quotes from other topics! Just leave the post composer open and click on Forums Home to navigate to other category you wish to access. Find the topic and post you wish to quote, highlight the text and click on Quote as before. That text will also appear in your post. Instead of going to Forums home you can also directly use Full text search to find topic to quote some text from…
