Slight Change in Posting Replies to Threads
#1

If you are looking for the "quote" button to reply to someone...you won't find it in this Phorum. It was removed in May 2012 as the "quote" feature was being abused/over-used. It shall not return.

This affects the quotes you often see in posts. You know, the ones like:

somebody Wrote:bla blaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa

When it is necessary and relevant to the discussion, I don't mind it. But repeated quotations make what could be a short reply into an unnecessarily long one, like this:

Elmer Wrote:
Bugs Wrote:Duck season!
Daffy Wrote:Wabbit season!
Bugs Wrote:Duck season!
Daffy Wrote:Wabbit season!
Enough! Enough!

So how am I supposed to reply to a thread?

Simple - just look at the graphic below.

   

Either click the "Reply" button at the end of a thread, click the "New Reply" button near the end of a thread, or enter your reply in the "Quick Reply" box at the end of a thread. (See the thread "How to Post to the Phorum" in the "Phorum 101" section of the Phorum for details.)
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=4562

If you want to quote someone in a reply:

Use the "quote" code as follows:

Code:
[quote]This person said this before me.[/quote]

or

Code:
[quote="username"]This is what he said.[/quote]

Notice how you place the word quote inside brackets to make a quotation. To end it, you type /quote (a forward slash, then the word quote); again, inside brackets.

An easier way (H/T to Terry AKA Radioroslyn) - just preface what you want to quote with an arrow character (>).

Example:

---

> This is a great radio.

I agree.

---

Please use quotes sparingly, to make posts easier to read.

Thank you.
