    Re: Quoting posts

    I hate it when people pick on the small things that people may be doing wrong, irrespective, or should i say "Irregardless" if it is an honest mistake or not. in respect to I'm sure Smorgans, Giffin and Hargreaves will not loose their temper, and transfer back to the Adleaide Crows, wouldnt that be a story for Footy Classifieds. If I could just direct your attention back to the post on Leg Speed....

    Nah just pulling the piss, this site is awesome, its been a great find.

        Geez haven't I opened up a can of worms here.

        Getting back to my opening post it seems the said poster didn't read this thread going by their latest effort in the preview thread.

          BulldogBelle and I will contact the few people that need some assistance with quoting posts. A lot of the errors occur when people try to bold the start or the end of post and highlight part of the [/quote text.

          We are working on it.

            I guess you're suggesting that those wanting to quote a post should click this button:

              That part doesn't seem be the problem.

              As GVGjr pointed out it is more to do with the editing & deleting of the orginal post where the problem occurs.

                Well, I am confused. I have looked at the original post to which you referred and it is not obvious to me what your concern is. Could you explain in more detail just what your concern is?

                On a different, but related theme, what is the easiest (correct) way to include quotes from multiple posts in the one reply?

                  This might help, see 3rd option.

                    I have on purpose incorrectly quoted your post to show what I mean. The post I was referring to has been fixed up.

                      Thanks Mantis.

                      Thanks also Coon Dog. Unfortunately the link you have provided won't work for me. Apparently I don't have sufficient priviledges??? However, I appreciate the quick response.

                        I'm a teacher and I HATE the kids saying " On the weekend, we VERSED Fremantle" or similar....

                        So no one here say it OK? Say "We played" or "We competed against" not "We versed"!

                                Slightly off-topic but I detest the common use of the word "journey" in every bloody reality show and I also hate everyone signing off "cheers" in phone cenversations, emails and letters. Foregiveable when you're being served in a bar...but since when did it become acceptable to end every correspondence or conversation with "cheers"?

                                By the way...hate it when people use the term "from my advantage point". It's "vantage point" for christ's sake. Oh, and one of the most common erros on these boards is people speaking "dribble". Try "drivel" next time, okay?

                                Feel better now.
                                I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
