[quote] and [/quote]

stop it!!!!

this is annoying to type it all the time.

change it to <center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>, much much better and faster.

huh???

so the [ q ] and the [ / q ] exist???????

damn!!!

How do quotes work!!!

UltraSonix · October 21, 2000, 18:33

I've noticed though, that when you quote someone who has a quote in their post, the quote doesn't come out well.

So this is a test. <center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>Highest level
<center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>Quote2 inside a quote
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>
<center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>Quote inside a quote
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>

edit: I see! The outside quotes can't be [ quote ], but need to be [ q ]! OK, this thread's definitely going to make posting at the civ3 forum much easier!

edit: ok, I can't get it to work now, but I did see before that a quote would not have a line, but instead just two dots at the beginning of the quote. Is that a bug?

UltraSonix: Actually, they just need to be mixed.. What happens if you quote someone who quoted someone else, you'll get the quote to be like this:

quote quote /quote /quote. It needs to be either:
1. q quote /quote /q
or 2. quote q /q /quote

And more to the point, would you ever want to?

There's no point doing three levels since you'd have to be quoting someone doing two levels, which I haven't seen until now.

And thanks Narck for the info...

Go to the poerson's post that you wish to quote and click the "reply with quote" button.

Paul · October 23, 2000, 02:56

I think that's a bit too much trouble to get three levels of quoting, Mark.

Mark von Wagner · October 23, 2000, 03:13

It wasn't very hard to get the four levels of quotes: I just copied the HTML source for the post I wanted to quote, then added my two levels of quoting.

------------------
main(i,_){for(!_| |(--i,main(i+2,i["FHhhTBFHdhTBFBQT\2TBF&]zRF$hh*:FHhh+&FBIsbDF"]));
i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" "

_^=_,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Mark -*/

Builder : I believe what he meant was : stop saying about everything that it is spam !!! That's not funny !
(that's what he said, I will not take a stand on this one)

Btw, to make the "Originaly posted by..." you can just remember the text that it writes automatically when you do "Reply with a quote" and then write it by yourself in your posts.
