Is anyone in a generous mood, to the point where they will give me a brief discription on how to quote after which paragraph I want to within one post. How to quote, paraphrase, I think. Not an indepth description, I basically just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Exactly, except, as how it would it be if you were answering me after the first quote and saying,"Yes", and, after to the second, whether or not I'm actually talking about paraphrasing. That's not as pressing.
I just need a brief description on how that works.
But I suppose, yeah, just like that. If I know how to do that then I can figure out how to write inbetween.

Use the commands <quote> and </quote> (But with square brackets, instead of <>'s) around what you want quoted.
So:
-----
That's so funny!
Yeah, I thought so.
But that was stupid...
I don't agree.

Is caused by typing:
-----
Code: Select all
[quote]That's so funny![/quote]
Yeah, I thought so.
[quote]But that was stupid...[/quote]
I don't agree.-----
You can also add named by giving the suffix ="Username"
Code: Select all

Would it be ="Username"[quote] to start someones quote? In that form?
Would it be minus the " " .. Or is that what has to be around the users name?

Oh.. I see now by example they do have to be there, and which order they go in. Thank you very much you two for helping. Don't mind the extra post count, I'm a western post whore.
