Hey Seoman,

I'm wondering if you could help me out as far as using quotes in the forum is concerned? How exactly is this done? I've seen others do it, but I am running into a bit of trouble as far as appearances are concerned. Can you tell me the right way to go about this??

Thanks :D

Well, the easiest thing to do is to use the little quote button (http://www.thornvalley.com/commons/forum/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/icon_quote.gif[" alt=""/img]) on the post that you want to reply to. This will automatically start your post with the quoted text at the beginning.

To make your own quotes, use this BBCode:
[code][quote="[name of who you're quoting]"]Quotation goes here...[/quote][/code]
You can also omit the name part of the quote, if you don't want to attribute it to someone. In that case, it'd look like this:
[code][quote]Quotation goes here...[/quote][/code]
