Hi,
How do I separate quotes in a reply/response?

Cheers

Surround the text you want to quote with a quote tag.

It looks like this:

Code: Select all

[quote]Things and stuff.[/quote]
Things and stuff.
If you want to quote a particular user, add =username
Like this

Code: Select all

If you spell the username correctly, the user will be alerted that you quoted him or her. I often copy+paste to username to make sure it's right and I didn't make a typo.

This way you can quote multiple users in different places, or break down a comment to respond to it part by part.

A few people have quoted me this way and hasn't shown up in my notifications, I think you need to include "post id" by clicking the quote button in the top right hand corner of the post you're quoting, to get that blue hyperlink:

Aha. It might be the user_id part that makes it show up.

Let me know if you got an alert from this one, I took out everything else:

Code: Select all

Sorted :D

That's cool, so just the user_id bit you can find from hitting quote button in corner, but don't need the hyperlink back to original post or time:
