Quotes
USING THE QUOTINATOR
For a single quote click "Quote" at the top of the post box. It's best to remove the content so only the part you want to refer to is left. For example there's not much point in quoting an entire article if there's only one small section of it you wish to comment on. Same with quoting entire large posts just to say well said.
To do multiple quotes from a thread, or different threads, you need to do a bit of cut and pasting. Click quote on the bit you want and cut/copy it. Go to the next thing you want and press quote. Paste the first quote above the one you have open then copy and paste both of them...etc etc.
You can also just use the
button and post the bits of the posts you want there. The difference is it doesn't attribute the quote to it's author then.
For example the first way.
The second way
Another way is to have 2 windows open and copy and paste from one into the the thread you want to post them from.
It all sounds hard work but it’s not once you get the hang of it.

Links
POSTING LINKS
(I'll put gaps in the examples I post so you can see what I've done. For the links to work there shouldn't be any gaps)
To post a link click on the
"Insert Hyperlink" button and put the URL address of what you want to link to in between the brackets.
[url ] Put address here [ /url]
That would show up as
http://puntroadend.com/yabbse/index.php
You can also get it to show what you're linkign to rather than show the actual address
To do so click on the Insert Hyperlink button.
In the first bracket type an = sign after where it says URL [ url= ] [ /url ]
The URL address goes after the = and the highlight word goes in between the brackets.
[ url=http://puntroadend.com/yabbse/index.php ] PRE [ /url ]
Without the gaps it would show up as

Images
POSTING IMAGES
To post an image it needs to have an URL address. If you want to publish photos you need to save them to an image hosting service first. I use photobucket.com because it's quick, easy and reliable. There are many similar sites though.

"Insert Image" button and put the url address between the

Remove the gaps from the example and the image will show.

You can also post images as attachments but they need to be pretty small.
