how do you quote people?
[quote]
text here[/ quote]
remove the space in the second set of brackets
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…</p>
Can we get a quote button? I know it’s available in vBulliten…please? Take a look at the features that forums.slickdeals.net has…all the quoting features and the bbcodes and smilies. Can we get that here?
a quote button would be nice…
every other vbulliten forum has it…if you guys need help modding it…i’ll do it…i know php darn well…and i have a oracle 9i cert…which pretty much means i can use mysql well too
We don’t enable the quote feature to avoid excessive repetition and quoting. On forums that have it, it’s not uncommon to see someone quote an entire five-paragraph post made by someone else and add a one-line comment.
The other behavior easy quoting encourages is one member dissecting another members post and refuting it point by point. These kinds of discussions are rarely productive and are often annoying to the person being dissected.
So, it’s still possible to quote if you need to, as shaddix describes, but we encourage you NOT to quote unless it’s essential to understand YOUR post.
however, most people on here do not ever reference which post they’re responding to, causing varying degrees of confusion. nothing we can do about that, you’d think that’s common sense, but we all know there’s nothing as uncommon as common sense… 
We should also have a bold, italics, and underlined buttons.
i totally agree
for instance, i just said “i totally agree”. if we didn’t have a quote feature, you would think i’m agreeing with Jonathan K…even though I was really agreeing with matt330ci.
You made my point, Scareya.
just practicing again <em>sigh</em>
i agree with Johnathan K. anyway.
italics, bold, and underline buttons would be nice. perhaps even the hyperlink bbcode too.
cool, i did it
