how can I highlight a certain part of a post as a quote so that I can use it as an illustration of point or so that i can repond to that part specifically?

Click quote.

Keep the bracketed (Quote) ............ (Quote) intact.

Delete the unwanted text.

And.

EG:
(Quote) insert the good stuff here (Quote)

Hope that helps.

If you use Firefox, there's an extension named Paste Quote. Select the text, right-click and pick "Paste Quote" off of the contextual menu, and paste where you want it.

Quote:

you need and end tag to do this

Code:


	Quote:
	
	
		
			
				you need end tags

(in case you don't see, the difference between mine and yours is the "/")

*dubious edit: Umm....since we're in tilted suggestion...any idea why 'code' doesn't supercede the 'quote' tag up there? AFAIK it should have displayed (quote)you need end tags(/quote) instead of just putting the quote in the box...

use [quote] [ /quote] (take out spaces in the [] to make it work if you want it to direct to a certain user then use [quote=user] text text text [ /quote] again no spaces

What about (link) and other vb codes?

I searched and looked through programming but that's all way more than i need.

I've gotten quote and img to work but when i do [ link ] www.firefox.com [ / link] (minus spaces of course) it doesnt do anything. what am I doing wrong and sorry if this is a repeated post

If you post an url, the code will automatically be added to make it into a link. If you want to do it manually, type: [url]www.firefox.com[/url]

A list of some of the vbcode that can be used on this site can be found here
