Quoting for dummies
 

Not sure if this is common knowledge but I figured maybe it would be helpful if placed where practically everybody should read it in here. Save us all some time in scrolling here through redundant pictures.
So you want to reply to somebody. Now this person has also posted a picture or many pictures along with their text that you have a question about. DO NOT QUOTE THE PICTURES. Here is how.

3 easy steps

1. Select the "quote" button. Page refreshes with which ever post you quoted and will appear like below.
This is a from Exampleguy and he posted a picture of his poop that you want to compliment him on.

[ QUOTE=Exampleguy;555555] This is the text, leave this.

[/QUOTE]

2. Now select the red text(*sorry if you are red colorblind) and delete that. That will remove the picture or pile of pictures that are not needed to be posted once again.

3. Write your reply and then press "submit reply". They will be notified and if the question is about the picture that was posted along with their text, they will figure it out.
*Note: Now if you are just quoting them about the picture/s and how nice/bad they are and they didn't write any text, just do a private message unless you are making
sure the public knows how you feel about said picture and not just the owner of said picture like a private message would. Hint, we don't care.

LEARN THIS!

Good point!

However, I wished you would have put "dummies" in quotes ........ why? ..... because of "dummies" ...........:D


humfrz

Instructions unclear
BRZ turned into FRS

You mean you guys don't like when someone quotes a post with 15 pictures?:iono:

Well now...
Very good point but the delivery is a tad melodramatic. Had me until the "We don't care" and "LEARN THIS"


Overall 6/10

"Ask not what your country can do for you.....

Oh you mean a different kind of quote

2. Now select the red text(*sorry if you are red colorblind) and delete that. That will remove the picture or pile of pictures that are not needed to be posted once again.

3. Write your reply and then press "submit reply". They will be notified and if the question is about the picture that was posted along with their text, they will figure it out.
*Note: Now if you are just quoting them about the picture/s and how nice/bad they are and they didn't write any text, just do a private message unless you are making

For "dummies"!

Another master of the internet. How refreshing.

Maybe 3/10. IMHO

Trolling for Dummies?

Glossing oneself for their encyclopedic knowledge of message boards is sort of faint praise, no?


OP, LEARN THIS.

what I want to know is how to Agree or like posts :S

Edit: Oh nvm its the thanks button :S

I believe it doesn't show up until you've posted 10 times so it's understandable that you wouldn't know where it was.
Or in the words of OP:


HOW TO THANK
1. post 10 times
2. click the thanks button.


LEARN THIS.

No, you remove everything else dummy. Like this.

2. Now select the red text(*sorry if you are red colorblind) and delete that. That will remove the picture or pile of pictures that are not needed to be posted once again.

3. Write your reply and then press "submit reply". They will be notified and if the question is about the picture that was posted along with their text, they will figure it out.

Oh god I fucked up guys. This is too much! Someone please help me!!!!

Am I doing it right?

Come on Mix you know you can not divide quotes by zero or bad things will happen!

Omg dude this is not the time to come out of the closet :lol:

Sorry guys I didn't know how to quote so I just screen-capped @Tcoat

What better place to do it than an automotive forum full of strangers from around the world? I'm European, so I don't know these procedures

Now that made me spew coffee :lol:

Too bad my tapatalk doesn't show the red text... looks like you guys have to put up with my quoted pictures. Sorry

A European in NC sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Could be worse I suppose. Could be Georgia.

Ayyye I finally made it into a signature.
*to himself*
"Don't spoil this opportunity...this is your chance to reach hundreds of people"
"I eat ass"

Can you quote me some red so I know what we are talking about?

Hahhahaha!!! :bellyroll:

You made it to the sig club faster then almost anyone else!

I am going to take this new page opportunity to state that I actually support Imp's comment on not quoting pictures when there is no need. It can be a pain in the ass if on a phone or slow connection.

^yeah. I agree. Though Im guilty of it since Im usually on my phone and its a pita to get rid of them lol.

anyway. IB4L

I'm not sure what you're asking here
