posting query
 

Can someone help me with this. When I copy and paste a quote it comes up in the same text that the rest of my post is in. I've noticed that when other people do it it comes up in a different text and so is obviously a quote. Can someone explain how you do it. :confused:

I haven't explained myself properly. Do you see what's happened here? I know I probably seem really stupid but it's driving me nuts.

click the reply button at the top right of the message you want to quote.

Nice work guys !

Oh my God are you joking? I was confused after the first line.
See no stopping me now :D :D

All of which begs the question "what were you doing wrong?" Intriguing.

I think they were clicking the bottom right 'Post Reply' button instead of the top right 'Reply' button.

Yes that's what I was doing

What I need to know now is how to post an old thread- you know when people say check out this thread and you can just click on the link. Also how do you all find out how to do these things. Am I just stupid? Don't answer that :D
