OK I'm stupid

Mich149 · 08-27-2002, 11:09 PM

How do I show part of another message. like a quote. I've just cut & paste before. I see the quote button but I can't get it to work. HELP!

***JustAskJulie*** · 08-27-2002, 11:24 PM

There are two ways to quote another message.

1. Above the message you wish to quote from there are a series of icons. The last one looks like little quote marks. Click that icon and it will bring up the reply box with the message you are replying to/quoting from in the box already.

You will see that there is a little bit of code in/around that message that looks like this
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">

Quote:

Original post by[QB]original message here[/QB]

</pre><hr /></blockquote>You can edit the original message down as much as you like, just be sure to leave the info that is in brackets intact.

2. The second way (and probably the easier to way to quote only small amounts of a previous post. Is to use the QUOTE button. In this case just copy the section of text you wish to quote. Click the Quote button and it will insert the following code:
<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> </pre><hr /></blockquote>then just insert the text you wish to quote like this:

<blockquote>code:<hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">

Quote:

insert text here.

</pre><hr /></blockquote>Hope that helps. If you are still having trouble let me know.

Hehe, never be to stubborn or scared to ask. Even if you don't want to ask publicly, you can always ask me privately.

I'm going to add this to the topic on "how to use the board"

I for one am glad this topic was brought up. This was something I was to afraid to ask also. Now if I can figure out how to get it right the first time and not rely on the edit button, I'll be in good shape.

Recently I stumbled across a post on another board that was a carbon copy, cut and paste, word for word of one posted here. What are the net *rules* for copying and presenting something on your own behalf that actually originated elsewhere from someone besides yourself? Do you need to credit, enclose a link or something if the author is known? If not known do you disclose that information also?

ciscosv · 10-11-2002, 02:40 PM

There are no rules in cyberspace.

***JustAskJulie*** · 10-11-2002, 02:43 PM

Pretty much what Cisco said.. well sorta. When it comes to message board posts. There really is no "owner", but it is of course proper etiquette to include a note of where it came from.

When it comes to articles, photos, stories and such like that those are copyrighted the second they are created. So reposting such is a copyright infringement and if the person who created the original catches it they can prosecute you. I know that for photos it's something like $5000 per infringement.
