Volksy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 the way i do it is to:-in the post you want to quote, click the "Quote button in the top right hand corner. Then in the new post....Edit the text you want to use as the quote (keeping the 'script' parts in [] at the beginning and end)Add your comments at the end after the last script [] and bobs your uncle....For example see below...
