  • Quoting Skills

    I still can't post multiple quotes. I can't highlight parts of quotes. Now there's a new one - Cogs highlighted one word in a reply to me on the Postbox thread and it took me to the Barnet Bugle. How do people do these things?
    Let's start with multiquotes (or whatever it's called), ie when someone quotes more than one poster in their replies. Can someone explain how to do that with really simple step-by-step instructions?

          click on the quote sign on the bottom right, the background turns orange when you selected, then scroll down to the next post and do the same, then hit print preview and you should see multi quotes in the print preview.

                  Oh wow, it worked! Thanks Napper. Forget the videos, just posting simple instructions works best.

                      Ok so you want to know how to do hyperlinks? the blue writing in Cogs post that led you to the Barnet Bugle thread.
                      • Open a new post
                      • Type out your post then highlight the word in your text that you wish to insert the link in
                      • Open another window, find and copy the url address that you wish to direct posters to. Then go back to your unfinished post
                      • Then on the top menu just below a smiley face on the tool bar is an icon of the earth with a chain link image on it. That's the one for insert links
                      • Click on it and a pop up box will appear asking you to "please enter the URL of your link"
                      • Clear the box below this message and paste your url and click ok
                      • Hit Preview Post and the word you selected for the link should look like what I posted below. Just to double check click on it in Preview Post and it should lead you to the url
                      • Submit Post
