Can someone please tell me how to nest a quote.  I can't figure it out and can't find it in a search.

Elaborate? Are you talking about like when the message you're quoting shows up in your post, like yours does in mine right now?

[goodrockrich]

Yes but a quote inside a quote.  Like this.

Highlight all the text in the post and then you should see an option to quote selection.

@goodrockrich - see Avi's post above. You can play around in the testing section here:

https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/11-testing-1-2-3/

Only you can see what you do there (and the mods). Create a post, reply to it and then try the nesting with another reply and you'll soon get the hang of it.

 

 

 

 

Etc....

I NEVER would have figured this out.  Thanks for all the help.  The test thread is cool as well.

The test thread is good because you can muck about to your hearts content without anyone seeing

What's best is if you start "dragging" from the bottom, you'll know when you have enough of the last quote because the "Quote selection" pop-up won't appear until you have dragged the cursor far enough.

It used to be easier, but at least this does work.

Also, another pro-tip (I use that to put the Millennials at ease ), but if you type out your entire post then want things emboldened or italicized (or whathaveyou) as my post above shows, just highlight the word/phrase/sentence you want emphasized and then click the "B" or "I" or whatever at the top of the form. I used to type out the whole <b></b> (or whatever) on the old version of the board, but the new way is much easier.

No, you're confusing me with one of Admin.
