Quoting People In Posts

How do you quote more then one person in a post?

I know there is a trick and I cant believe I cant figure it out.

Re: Quoting People In Posts

I think you just have to cut & paste it in manually?

You're right. It's a little tricky.

You got it. Just cut and paste the sections of the text that you're quoting. Begin with (Bracket)quote=whoever(bracket) and end with (bracket)/quote(bracket).

You can even quote people that never said stuff on the site.

It is really very easy. You have to manually type it. just look at the code below... to quote anyone, or even make up a quote you need the {quote} tag to add their name you... {quote=cole21}

You then end the quote with {/quote} Replace all the {} with []
