DISCLAIMER:
Before reading this post, be informed that the following question is extremely stupid, and the author will take no responsibility for any possible harmful reactions you may have to the immense idiocy displayed below, such as being flung off your chair at the stupidity of the question, pulling out your own hair, laughing so hard you dislocate your jaw, etc, etc. OK, now that I have warned you all, I want to ask something that has bugged me for a while. When you quote someone's text, how do you get the little "Originally posted by xxxxx" above the quote? Do you type it in manually, or is there some kind of trick? If you can compose yourselves long enough to respond, I would be very grateful! |

The UBB tags are gone so you have to type it yourself. Like this

Err, ahh, I knew that. Really, I did.
Seriously now, I knew about the quote buttons, but I wanted to know how people magically got the "Originally posted by XXX" above their quote. Now I know that you have to do it manually. Thanks for the help anyways! |
