Quoting How To

With all the new members on the board (and some of the older ones who have requested a refresher), here are some suggestions about quoting:

1) If you only want to quote part of what one person said, there are two options. Either hit the "quote" button and then delete the part that you don't want or type in (with the letter "o" instead of a "0") [qu0te=membername]copy information you want to quote[/qu0te]
Like this
membername
 
copy information you want to quote


2) If you're posting a link and want to quote something from the link, please do not copy the entire text from the link. Post a few points that you'd like to share.

3) Multiquoting

During the airing of the episode, it is fine to keep posting as you watch (some members are watching through here since they get a later airing) but once the episodes air and within all of the other threads, if you are commenting about what multiple people have said, please use the multiquote option. I have made a visual from another thread about how to multiquote. This option is available for all themes except for the ledger theme (and I'm working on a visual for that one)

Please try to use the multiquote function instead of repeatedly posting again and again.


Step one: Check off the boxes (this is from another thread within the Forum Questions, Suggestions, and Rules)

Step two: Select "quote" after the last thing you want to quote

Then this is what your screen should look like:

You can then go through and type in between the lines.


Hope this helps those of you who are visual learners

It was way back when people were having trouble quoting other people.

For ledger it is actually the same - just instead of selecting the boxes you select "multiquote" and then after the last one, you hit "quote" (I don't have time to create a visual until tomorrow)

Oh, I see. I've tried so many ways, but it did not work, I don't know why (until now ! :D ).
Thanks.

Once the episode is over, definitely. During the episode...it's post away (I normally go back after the episode to see what everyone said because I'm normally to busy trying to process everything during the commercials).

That is specifically why it says

I'm guilty of that too and that's not so bad because it is at the beginning and they are normally short (a few words to two sentences) and just initial reaction. It's once the episode is over and people start quoting other people that it gets frustrating to wade through. My suggestion (or what I normally do) is to open two tabs or a document where you can type the response to others and then paste it all together when you've finished reading through everything.

I like this plan. Efficient and organized.
