I see threads where a poster will quote from two or three other posters in a thread - all in the same post. Can someone please telkl me how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

quote="Scorpion" inside brackets. When you select a new piece of text to quote, it just uses the quote open tag, so toss the user name in there and you're good to go.

I've long wondered the same thing. Zyzyfer, I just tried several variations of what you suggest with no luck. Clearer instructions please?

I sometimes think Dave's is what the internet must have looked like 20 years ago. I've never figured out how to get an avatar either, but that could just be incompetence

It may be the long way, but I just open 2 windows of the same thread and cut and paste. I'm sure it can be done more easily. It works fine.

See how the quote above puts your name in quotations? [quote="schwa"] and you can change the name to whatever. So when you want to quote a different person...

[quote="Stan and Kyle"]Oh my god, they killed Kenny! You bastards![/quote]

Almost. I've been visiting this site since the 90's, and I don't recall it ever being updated.

There is a kinky quote button (she won't mind). Click it. That is, if you can find it.
