Hi Guys....I've noticed that some people, when they quote, have a title at the beginning of the quote that says "originally posted by...". Do you guys write that yourselves or am I missing something in my menu?:confused:

if you click the "quote" button it will automatically include the "originally posted by.."

i like to use it when a thread veers into a couple different points. helps to keep responses more understandable to everyone

I have noticed if I use the quote button in the bottom of each post I get the original notice but if I use the quote button at the top of the reply box I don't.

Rob, how does one quote out of context? also how does one quote multiple replys?

you have to do it manually using the quote tags
or the quote button in the reply box
