    Forum Guide: Quote and Advanced Quoting

    Here's a forum guide on quoting. Hopefully this will help you guys out and you will get to use quotes like this! Firstly, I will start off with the very basic for the new forumers.


    To multi-quote, you have to click that small button next to "reply with quote" then after you selected all you want to quote click "reply to thread" but I click on those buttons then click "reply with quote" for the last quote I want to quote. Also you can exit out of the thread and still quote these, the quotes you want to quote goes away once you reply to a thread with those quotes.

    Now we went over the basics, let's get a bit more advanced!

    So let's say I want to quote those two, let's play around with them for a bit now.
    This is what I currently see:

    Now let's say I want it to be like this: I put a quote in a quote like this:

    This is only one way, now let's try something else, that makes sense, and is advanced.

    Let's say I want to quote this:
    If I quote him and someone goes to my quote, he wouldn't really understand what I mean. Also notice how he quoted someone? That's something else I'm going to show you. I have these three quotes right now in my "reply to thread" (sorry for big pics)

    Let me put Daddy's quote and Woski's quote together now. Daddy quoting Jtb too. Right now we will do Daddy and Woski. So Daddy is replying to Woski, so it's as if he is quoting him. So this is what I got so far.

    Daddy ALSO quoted Jtb, so let's put his quote in too. But Daddy quoted him at the BOTTOM, so that means you have to put jtb's quote at the bottom of Daddy's quote. Like here:

    So this is the result:

    Here is how I quoted them:

    Ok let's say you are quoting a guy replying to two people, I know Daddy pretty much did, but this is different.

    You see how Anarchos has three quotes? If you quote him then it will just show what he says.

    Let's see what I can do this time. I went to quote him and the Woski posts he quoted. This is what I see now (after putting quotes together):
    Result:
    Now let's quote quotes in quotes. Ok that's a bit confusing. I'm going to quote a guy that quoted a quote that quoted a quote, and that continues. So we will have more than three quotes, let's say... six quotes. This can work for infinite quotes, it can keep going on if you just follow what I do. Seven quotes, ten quotes and so on! We will work with six now. This is what I see:

    They were quoting each other, so if you meet up at Harshaw's last post, you will have to keep pressing that blue button which could get annoying. This can help. So let's continue. Remember how you put quotes in quotes? I will show you how to do that step by step. Let's put the first and second together now. This is first step:

    Second step:

    Third step:

    Fourth step:

    Final step:

    Result:




    These things can work for signatures too. Again, VERY sorry for the big pics, I will take care of that ASAP. Hope you learned from this

    Very useful, thank you for helping with this.

    I've been wondering how to multi quote for a few months now, so really happy that you took the time to make this guide.
    I hate to be a kicker,
    I always long for peace,
    But the wheel that does the squeaking,
    Is the one that gets the grease.
