Posting within a post?
Posted by flyerduke on Saturday, November 29, 2014 7:13 PM

I've seen many posts where an individual is directly replying to another with a post within a post.

Make sense?  I cut and pasted an example from another thread.  Just wondering how to do it.  Thanks.

Jim: My prayers that you get the house sold soon and move on with your life. At least you're getting some modeling done so I hope it takes your mind off things.

Ken: I did get the photos with the MOAB, they're also either on the camera or the phone, I'll see if I can root them up tomorrow.

-7 degrees, good golly!?! Yeah I'll stop complaining too, I'm not sure I could take that!

Thanks for the thoughts, guys.

The weather tonight? Right now it it is 10 degrees, with predictions anywhere from +2 to -2 for the overnight low. We were running 65-70 temps  right before this arctic front hit.

Hi, Craig,

When you reply, click the "Use rich formatting " link and wait for your browser to refresh the page.

In the new reply page, you should see a Quote link, which will default the text of the post you were on when you clicked Reply into the body of your reply, with the HTML quote tags.

That's how to quote a single post.  I don't know if FSM's software offers the functionality to quote more than one response at a time.  Other forums I belong to have that feature; it allows you to quote multiple posts all at the same level in your reply.  Of course, you can use cutting and pasting as a workaround to quote multiple posts in your reply.

Hope that helps!

Looks like it did, I see my reply embedded as a quote.
