I have some questions for the posters here.

Ok, about the text editor on here. It has two modes, one is the fancy WYSIWYG mode that makes quoting a pain and the other is the "source" mode.
When doing a full reply, you should have a button with the label "View Source(ctrl+shift+s)" to switch between the two.
Alternatively, you can do what many of us do and go in your control panel's options (here's a link, for your convenience>> https://atheistforums.org/usercp.php?action=options) and towards the bottom right enable "Put the editor in source mode by default". Don't forget to save your changes.

This will bring to you the joys of BBcode whenever you reply to someone!

The quick reply box on the bottom only accepts BBcode, as far as I'm aware, so you can always use that with some copy/paste and clever use of the quote tags... just don't expect it will include the handy button that links a quote to the original post.


As for post concatenation, is happens for all replies within 20 minutes of your first reply (at least, it used to be 20 minutes a few years ago), unless someone else replies in between.

Also, "Preview Post" is your friend.

Thank you for this!  I am going to PM it to myself for future reference.
