QuotingIf you want to quote somebody, you generally just hit the quote button at the top right hand side of there post. It will generally look like this:
hecter wrote:SPAM!
That was me saying SPAM! (big surprise eh
). It would look like this in your response:
- Code: Select all
[quote="hecter"]SPAM![/quote]
Let's say you have something that looks like this though:
wicked wrote:hecter wrote:SPAM!
Stop spamming the forums!
and you don't want my previous SPAM! comment in your post, it would look like this:
- Code: Select all
[quote="wicked"][quote="hecter"]SPAM![/quote]
Stop spamming the forums![/quote]
You would have to take out the "[quote= "hecter"]" part, my "SPAM!" part, and my "[/quote]" part. You must always have the same number of [ quote] and [/quote] tags, otherwise, you end up with something like this:
hecter wrote:SPAM!
Stop spamming the forums![/quote]
That just looks weird doesn't it? It is best to preview posts before sending them, especially if you have a lot of coding like that. That way, you don't end up with things that look like that.
If you want to make up your own post, and you want more than just a "quote" at the top, and instead want a "This site/person wrote" at the top, just do this:
CC website wrote:Risk all your armies on a daring continent grab. Use diplomacy to coordinate a group assault on the game leader. Feel the thrill of victory as you eliminate your last opponent.
The key part of that post (in the code) was:
- Code: Select all
[quote="CC website"]
See how at the top it says "CC website wrote"? Well, to get that, I had to add, in the quote tag, " ="CC website" ". Again, there are quote buttons, so you don't have to do all that [ quote][/quote] stuff. But, what you do have to do is add the =
"whatever
" part. I bolded the "'s because if you didn't get that, you would end up with:
[quote=hecter]SPAM![/quote]
and you don't want that do you?
CodeIf you want to show somebody something, such as the code for a picture, but you don't want to post the picture itself, then just use the Code button. It will add the:
- Code: Select all
[code][/code]
parts, and all you have to do is add what you want to say. And example would be what I did with the cat picture, but I'll do it again. This is the picture:
And this is what you need to type in for the picture. It is exactly the same, I just added Code tags:
- Code: Select all
