    I want to be able to quote part of someones post without posting the whole thread,just editing out a word or a sentence or a paragraph.

    I have tried but failed in my attempts can you tell me how.

    Thanks :)

    If the above is what you want, the easier to is to press quote button below right, delete all you want except the ([)quote=Brexitbaby] and the last [/quote(]) leave the text you want.

    Note added () to the quote so it stopped quoting you. When you do it you won't have the () symbols.

    Another Dickhead :lol:

    I though that Melbourne was the "winner" but there seems to plenty of "prize winning turds" in North Sydney as well,surprise :)

    No wonder this forum is struggling,and not only because of price of PM's.

    Turds Inc :lol:

    No need to copy just use the "Quote" button, then you can delete the areas you don't need or want. This will put it in a box as below.

    Make sure you have the start quote= included and the closed /quote on the end.

    Seems to work the same as every forum I have been on.

    How do you do it elsewhere?

    If you haven't already, check out the bbcode link for a list of all options: http://forums.silverstackers.com/help.php#bbcode

    Or just type something like this:

    [quote]The only thing sexier than Libertads is SpacePete in tight pants.[/quote]
    or [quote=No One Ever]I have too much silver.[/quote]

    Hi
    +1

    brexitbaby you would have more success on this forum if you chucked fewer tanties and refrained from abusing people. Neither is acceptable behaviour online or in real life.

    If you can't act like a mature human why don't you do us all a favour and piss off if you hate it here so much.

    Pretty well actually thanks for asking, I just got a $16,000 increase in my mining salary and study assistance to get an Engineering degree.

    You have got to be the most pathetic idiot on this site. 'My state's better than yours'? You have to be joking, that's about as immature as 'my dad could beat your dad.' What are you, seven years old?

    Keep that shit up and you'll get yourself banned, and you won't be missed.
