I cant Quote

[jamesW135]

The quote button just isnt there!!!!!!

 

[Blue Velvet]

No, it's now called 'Reply' and sits on the right-hand lower corner of the post which you want to quote.

Same thing, different name.

 

[Lacero]

Please don't quote me on this, but I think the change from 'quote' to 'reply' is a bit misleading. There are two reply buttons but one serves a very different purpose. I think it's a bit confusing, if I say so myself.

Quite quickly reached quote quotient, quietly quit.

 

[Doctor Q]

I agree. "Reply" vs. "Post Reply" is a non-obvious distinction and vBulletin should have left the "Quote" button with its old name.

And you can reply me on that!

I replaced the Reply button with the Quote button. When your browser clears its cache, it should show up now.

This can also be forced by opening the image in a new window, refreshing it, then refreshing the forum page.

Very interesting. Good work as always, with the quick fix, Arn!

"Quote", "Reply", whatever - I think we can all figure it out... Can't we?....

Nice one. However I must point out for the record that I am Canadian.

Yeah, but you can figure it out.

Yeah, but you can figure it out.

Yes, very good point, I see what you mean.

 

[Doctor Q]

Thanks, arn. Now you can quote me on that!

Well, if you insist. It does bear saying multiple times.

I can quote just fine, but I was wondering if there is anyway to write "Originally Posted by EricNau" at the beginning, without writing out.
Does that question make sense? I was just wondering if there was a shortcut that I don't know about.

 

[mad jew]

Just after the "[QUOTE" part, type in "=name of poster" before the next "]" which is before the rest of the quote.

Did this work?

Maybe I misunderstand you, but you don't have to write it out, and it does do it automatically for you. For instance, in this very reply, I simply hit the Quote button to your message, and the beginning of the quoted text will read "Originally Posted by EricNau" without me having to type anything.

 

[mad jew]

Yep. Well done EricNau. Of course, using the Quote button does it automatically for you.

 

[EricNau]

ha ha! I feel like an idiot! I never notciced the "quote" button at the bottom of everyone's reply. It's amazing, if I just hit that it does everything for me. It took me how many posts to figure that out? ha ha

 

[mad jew]

Saves some time, doesn't it.

 

[EricNau]

ya, wow I did it again - this makes it all the more fun!

Just after the "[QUOTE" part, type in "=name of poster" before the next "]" which is before the rest of the quote.

Ah, I see what he means, i think. Yes, doing that you can quote anyone indirectly without needing to directly quote their post. For instance:

I suck.

I know.

 

[EricNau]

OK, but now that I've figured that out, it is still a quote button for me, what is this reply button, I'm confused.
