Hi,

Sorry if this was already posted. I looked through some of the recent posts and could not find it, so here it goes:

In some people's quotes it says, "Originally posted by xxxx." How do you put this in your quotes? Mine just says, "quote:..." then goes on with the post.

Thanks for any help,
Bryan

This should be done automatically if you hit the Quote (not Post Reply) button when making your post. It simply inserts:

[ QUOTE ][ i ]Originally posted by bscastro [ /i ]

before the bold tag, the quoted text, and the end of the bold and quote tags.

Also, be certain you have both the opening and closing tag.

Make sure what you want quoted is sandwiched between [ quote ] and [ /quote ] (no spaces.) :)

gotta do it manually,

either do a series of quote /quote combos, or sandwich em quote quote /quote /quote with the brackets of course, and propper placement of everything.
