Using TOTJO and some bbcode help

Oh ok, thanks. I didn't realize this was possible with bbcode. :blush:

I'm having trouble showing that multiple quotes come from member A, as I address each quote, followed by the same thing for member B. In particular the quote="memberA" post=number code. This goes first and that first quote needs to be wrapped in quote-/quote code. So the 2nd quote also needs its own quote-/quote and so on, right?

When quoting member B, I start the quote="memberB" post=number code, followed by quote-/quote references. But I get something wrong as the result

Yes. when something starts with quote= it has to end with /quote

So if you have (quote="Member A" post=144965) you have to end it with (/quote). that is when you can start typing. then if you want to add in another quote, from another member, you just put (quote="Member B" post=3564) and end that with (/quote) as well.

I'm not sure if that helps you at all

Its more basic...

Just need:

that makes:

That easier?

I seen you like to do this for more clarity. To do this, you just have to close out the quote by adding to the end of the quote.

Then you have to start it up again by adding for the next section of the quote, so before you started to say "When quoting member B..." and then have at the end of the quote again. You type what you want after that. It makes the flow so much easier.

Also, if you want to have "Member B wrote:" you just put or copy and paste their opening quote code.

Sorry for the double post. I meant to put this one instead of my last rushed answer. You can delete the previous one if it helps. I think this one is a better answer, even though Jestor's was simple to understand.

And, if you could read all my posts, you'd see I get stupid...

Such as:

So, I was talking to Ren, the Magnificent, and he wrote: jestor is a dork

So, offended, jestor wrote: Yea? So is your haircut!

I'm rather serious lately, but, I get silly!

Hahaha...

Edit; I'm a bit slow, see above

They 'nest' like; here is three levels of nesting;

Which would look like;

A;

B; inside A

C; inside B, which is inside A

But the idea is that the new post is not within quote brackets, so a common one is to just have two levels. Anymore then 2 levels gets a bit over the top in regards to the amount of space used... usually 2 levels is enough to make conversation easy to follow.

Which if I got it right, would look like;

Don't forget the "...

You put [Member B] like that, and the "B" won't show...

It worked for me...

Thank you so much guys, was giving me a headache, and now I realised you need to edit your posts for correct nesting within the hour. I use the tapatalk mobile app so we don't have preview option. now I know what to do, things will be easier to be clearer
