View Full Version : help,. What did I do wrong? D2GIRL 4-25-01, 01:07 AM The other day I tried to use a quote when I replied on a forum. It didnt come out like other quotes do. Such as it being in a bolder white. Mine just looked like I had typed it myself. What is the right way to do it? Can anyone help? Roemello 4-25-01, 01:45 AM If you look just under any message, you'll see a bunch of icons for profile, mail, pm, search, edit, etc. There's also one down there that says 'quote' Just click on that button under anyone's message and you'll automatically reply with the quote from that user's post. You can also do this manually if you want with the UBB tags: <quote><b>quote here</b></quote> Just change the < and > to [ and ] ------------------ <FONT face="Times New Roman"><FONT size="4">- Roemello</FONT s></FONT f> http://spiffyentertainment.8m.com http://roemello.80sxchange.com "Only the meek get pinched.

I was just about to quote someone in another forum, and remembered this one, so I thought I better check before I tried it again. I think I deleted the <quote>, as in what M.Myst said, in the last one I tried. I am going to try it again. Lets see how it goes. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif D2GIRL 5-03-01, 01:17 AM http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//roll.gif Yeah!!!! It worked. I did it right this time, WHOOOO HOOOOO!! Thanks all. Little things to get excited over. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif |
