The members railed at my for ten straight days speaking to "quoting", "...you're not quoting correctly !...", so, I employed the quote function, and, then, that became a disaster ! I am not really going to let all of the AI stuff get me down, I will learn in time, and so many beautiful members are coming to my rescue...this is both nice, and a damn nightmare ! Negatio.
Cool
Have you clicked 'deselect'? Since that old post is still quoted above, it looks like you haven't. You really do need to do that now, and any time in the future when you press "Reply" and see an old post that you're not replying to being quoted, also do it then, because that will indicate that you've accidentally pressed the "Quote" button.There's also something else you need to know about, along similar lines. Like I said, if it says 'author Wrote:' at the top of any quote that it means it will alert the user in question. There's a function of the site that basically concatenates (joins together) posts if they happen too close together in time... I think it's within two hours or something. It's to stop people spamming a thread with many posts in a row; what it does in that situation is adds them to the end of the previous post, with a long horizontal line separating them. So if this has happened then though you may have posted say ten individual replies, they'll all show in one single post, with each one separated by a horizontal line. So given that concatenation effect, if you then reply to such a post, you are in fact replying to several posts in one... which means that even it you are no longer suffering from the multiquote problem, you may still be quoting people needlessly, and thus alerting them. The only way around that is to actually edit the post to remove the quotes you don't want, as I've done here in my reply to you. But we can work on that... let's first get the multiquote problem sorted
