Quick question
« on: May 11, 2010, 06:52:20 pm »
ok so in this section it says we can post questions if we need help using the forum... my question seems pretty trivial compared to previous posts but i'd be grateful if anyone could answer!
how exactly do you go about quoting someone's previous posts... someone told me you click the quote button next to the post  but when i do that a green bar with loading (that never loads :P) appears at the top of the page.
the insert quote icon under the change colour button is what i'm using currently but i just realised copy pasting inside the code isn't what everyone else is doing since the name doesn't appear...?
help please?

No, in case you didn't notice, only the NICK appears, not the date, time, etc... So, it's gonna be pretty easy to track privacy hackers.  ;)  :P

Welcome...  ;)

Okay, I think the Preview thing doesn't work actually... No problem, you can always modify your post thereafter.

Yeah, be careful about quoting girl...  ;)

By the way, Thank You!
