ORIGINAL: absolutchocolat i'm with osidegirl, stop thinking with your ladyparts. you've been deprived for . Is anyone going to tell me how to double quote or not? or direct me to the nearest instructional video? Hi chatterbox. I scrolled down & it looks like no one else has, so I will take a shot at it. (This is a manual method. And it is theoretical. Should work. There may be a quickie button way, but I dunno about that) 1. Obviously you know how to single quote. Do that for the first post you want to quote. I will call it Post A. 2. See the words quote and slash quote with square brackets? They surround the text that will show in a box. Like HTML code. I will show them here with round brackets...cuz if I used square ones they would make a box. 3. Manually copy the part of Post B you want in the second box. Paste it where you want it in your reply. 4. You will want the (quote) Original: nick of Post B writer to go above the Post B pasted chunk. And (slash quote) to go after it. Please note: my keyboard is currently stuck on extended ascii; I typed slash; you should use the symbol. 5. That should do it. If you do this a fair bit, you could have the following pre-typed in a wp doc on your task bar: (quote) ORIGINAL: (slash quote) Just copy & paste that in, then add the Post B chunk in between. 6. If you want to do, like...5 chunks in one post, interspersing your own comments, do the first one with the quote button. Then copy the text from your pre-typed doc (or retype it). Then paste, hit CR a few times, paste, hit CR a few times, paste...etc. And go back to the chunks you want to quote and drop them, in order, in between the (quote) and (slash quote). 7. Type your comments in between the (slash quote) from the one above and the (quote) from the one below. Simple, no?
