<p>The tables are clean, the baristas are brewing and pouring… so pull up a chair and join the discussion in the new Parent Cafe at College Confidential!</p>
<p>This forum is for those posts that might have gone in the Parents Forum but weren’t on-topic, i.e., related to college admissions and college life.</p>
<p>What a good idea…thanks!</p>
<p>very nice</p>
<p>sdfsdtgshy</p>
<p>I think this is one of your best ideas yet mod team! <em>claps hands</em></p>
<p>And do the posts count here? lol</p>
<p>Great idea!</p>
<p>Oooooh! This is a nice idea…really nice. </p>
<p>I guess we’ve been straying OT quite a bit lately…football, snow, high maintenance friends, teen sex, etc… We’re in that “in between” apps and decisions stage.</p>
<p>Hey, thank you so much!!</p>
<p>MomsDream, just wait…in another month we’ll be reduced to talking about high maintenance teen sex in the snow.</p>
<p>U Da’ Man! Now, if you’d just have a training session to teach us to make grey boxes…:)</p>
<p>nice idea. I have at times had some off topic questions that I wanted to put before this particular audience. Now I can. 
</p>
<p>Those gray boxes? You mean the “quote” thing? Just start your gray box with this ===>>> {quote} and then you end your gray box with {/quote} except instead of using these brackets ==>> {} use these brackets==>> I had to use these brackets==>> {} in the example because if I used the right brackets you would have seen a gray box instead of my example!
</p>
<p>oh my gosh thank you so much NJres! I know it wasn’t my question, but I have wondered that since I started posting and for the life of my couldn’t figure it out.</p>
<p>I’m giving it a shot…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hey, look at that!</p>
<p>Cool .</p>
<p>I don’t understand </p>
<p>[hello/quote]</p>
<p>[ahhhhh why isn’t it working?]/quote I am so confuzzled</p>
<p>I can’t get this…what is wrong with me</p>
<p>[please work]
[/quote]
</p>
<p>yeah I just freaking give up. I’ll never learn.</p>
<p>Here: try this explanation:</p>
<p>At the start of your box quote, you include a tag that says [ quote ] except without spaces. At the end of your box quote, you include a tag that says [ /quote ] except without the spaces. That’s it!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In other words,</p>
<p>[ quote]message<a href=“no%20space”>/quote</a></p>
<p>and if you want to add the name of that folk:</p>
<p>[ quote=folk]message
[/quote]
</p>
<p>to give</p>
<p>
