<p>How do I quote a post? On most vBulletin forums, there’s a button to quote a post. But, there isn’t one on CC, is there?</p>

<p>

. And remove the spaces. Take a look under “community and forum issues” for more explanation.</p>

3

<p>[ quote] TEXT HERE [/ quote] <– No space here.

</p>

<p>I know how to use the BB code to quote text from a post, but there should be a way to automatically quote the entire post of someone else. I don’t know why this functionality was removed.</p>

5

<p>sorry, that didn’t work…</p>

6

<p>Just click reply on that certain person’s post, and it should leave you with what they said at the bottom, and just copy and paste it and add

[quote]
at the beginning and [/ quote] at the end of the pasted text and type your response. Not too hard.</p>

7

<p>OK, I’ll try…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>and if you want to quote their name,</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>eg.

<p>LOL that didn’t work at all
i’ll try again</p>

<p>quoting with the name :

[quote=Username ]
The thing you want to quote<a href=“just%20take%20out%20that%20space%20after” title=“username”>/quote</a></p>

<p>so it woud be like this:

</p>

10

<p>Aww I feel special :p</p>

11

<p>Omg that didn’t work again.
the fomat is this:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>^And remove the space bar after the first ‘quote’</p>

12

<p>I know how to do it. But again, I can’t for the life of me determine why CC would remove this convenient button.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>Or you can quote really, really big.</p>

14

<p>I contacted them. Hopefully they do something about it.</p>

<p>May as well see if I can finally learn how to do this…</p>
