    I'm sure it's somewhere but I'm relatively new...

    What's the formula for quoting previous threads (you know, in the blue box)? I just keep copying & pasting and it doesn't look great :confused: Thanks

    Quote button: quote.gif

    Multiquote: multiquote_off.gif

    You can start a thread here to play around and try them out.

    Great thanks for that...but how do I quote one sentence from a post, rather than the whole post??? do those buttons not just quote the whole of the post?

    Thanks again

    They do yes. All you have to do is click the quote button and then manually delete whatever part of the post you don't require, leaving the part you need. Same as what I'm after doing with your post above.
