Attributing your quotes

ekolis · June 6, 2012, 15:53

When I try to quote some text using the editor's quote button, it doesn't let me attribute the quote to someone. If I quote a whole post using the quote button on the post, though, then I get an attribution. However I keep forgetting how to attribute a quote manually; this doesn't seem to work:

HTML Code:

[quote user="somebody"]He said it![/quote]

Any chance of getting the editor's quote button "fixed"? And how do I quote manually again? (I supposed I could quote a whole post and see what the forum gives me, though...

)

Code:

[ QUOTE=ekolis;70340](I supposed I could quote a whole post and see what the forum gives me, though... :p)[/QUOTE]

(space inserted just before "QUOTE", because apparently the code block still interprets quote blocks...)

Thanks!

Though, what's the number for after the username?

It's a link to the post number.

Hmm, OK, and where would I find the post number?

Hover over any link to a post (from the forum index, or threaded view, or whatever), and it's shown as part of the link.
