Thanks for any help.

There's a couple of ways. First hit "Reply". You'll see that the post you are replying to is typed for you in the box. Now, see the "quote codes" at the start and end of the original post? Those gotta remain to preserve the quote being posted along with your reply. withing the body of the original post, simply delete what words you do not want repeated in your reply post. Sometimes, I also "highlight" and "copy" the original post, with the "quote codes" included so that I can continually paste them elsewhere in my reply and delete out specific wording so as to be clear as to which point I'm addressing.

Hope that somewhat confusing explanation helps some. :)

ETA - Also, if you are responding to several posts at one time, click on "MultiQuote" on each post on which you wish to comment. It will seem as if nothing is happening. But, then click "Add reply" and the posts you used "MultiQuote" on will magically be added into the box for you.

Thanks. I'll try it out and see how it goes. I might be back with more questions.

This is my question too, so I am going to reply to the "help answer" to see if I understand what you're saying!

So say I wanted to reply to this.

And then this.

So on this attempt, my post is included within the text of the original post that I'm trying to reply to, which is not what I'm wanting to do.

Does this mean that both of the "quote lines" (the before/after) need to added for each reply?

Trying this now.

And again.

If I respond to this...

Okay, thanks! I don't think I'm doing this in the most efficient way possible, but this will work for now!

The board uses a fairly standard markup system, in which opening and closing tags affect everything in between. So a quote looks like this:

[quote]This is quoted text.[/quote]

The markup above results in this output:

This is quoted text.

If you want to break a quote into multiple sections, you'll need to demarcate each segment with opening and closing tags, like so:

[quote]This is segment 1.[/quote]

[quote]This is segment 2.[/quote]

Which results in this:

This is segment 1.

This is segment 2.

Thank you! I did figure it out finally!
