In the top right corner of your post there is a "quote" button press it . Then in the reply box you will see [/quote] at the end of the last message. go below that a couple of lines and start writing your reply.
Mind you I dont know how some of the rest of them manage to get 2or 3 or 4 quotes in?

On the original thread click quote in the right hand corner of the message you want to quote. Look at messages you've posted and you'll see there are 3 buttons - quote, delete and edit whereas on everyone elses you only see quote
Ok hit the quote button in this box, then reply keeping as far away from anything you see in the reply box :lol:

Have you tried clicking preview before posting to check if it works's - that'll save you having to actually post it to see if it works.
No I hadnt but I will now!

Maybe if you share the bubbly it will all be clearer, if not at least more fun to try ;)

It is very handy especially if you want to quote someone who has posted a few posts before otherwise people might not understand what you are talking about.
I noticed I had to uncheck the "Disable BBCode in this post" box!!
Hey,
When you quote something you need to enclose the text in
[quote]...[/quote]
So:
[quote]Hello there[/quote]
Hello there
If you want to include the name of the person that you are quoting it is
[quote="girnigoe"]How on earth[/quote]
How on earth
Whatever you put between the speech-marks is followed by " wrote:" in the final post... so you can play around with it:
[quote="Somebody who wanted help with quotes"]How on earth[/quote]
How on earth
One thing to watch out for is that if you type your draft in Word and then cut&paste into your post, make sure you have "smart quotes" turned off. "Smart quotes" automatically changes 'straight' quotes (") to 'curved' quotes (“ ”) and these don't work when you are trying to write BBCode.
Hope that helps...
Errrmm :eek:
Thanks very much for the help jjc but im afraid im lost!!!

My fault... I should have said - the ones marked "Code:" give you what I typed to get whatever follows.

Krug's a champagne innit?
And i think a salmanazar is a big bottle of champagne that's equal to 12 normal bottles. i know you get a Jeroboam, Magnum, Balthazar, Nebuchadnezar there's other ones too but i canna mind them. Nebuchadnezar's equal to 20 bottles and i'm no sure what the rest are???

With a lot of faffing about. Takes time and effort unless they've found a better way than me. I save the first [quote= name] paste it at the beginning of whatever i want to appear, then save the last opne, and paste it at the end. I tried to just type it in myself, but it didn't work.

Shame on you for asking yes it is and one of the finest champagnes there is. Sal. equals 12 bottle size. So it looks like he/she simply meant lets crack open the bubbly.

A quick search indicates...
Magnum = 1.5 litres = 2 standard bottles
Jeroboam = 3 litres = 4 standard bottles
Rehoboam = 4.5 litres = 6 standard bottles
Methuselah = 6 litres = 8 standard bottles
Salmanazar = 9 litres = 12 standard bottles
Balthazar = 12 litres = 16 standard bottles
Nebuchadnezzar = 15 litres = 20 standard bottles
Tha's a lorra lorra champers!

I thought a magnum was more than that.
What size is it the winners of the grand prix get?
