I see posts answered with only a part of the previous post used; sometimes with the quote split into parts with answers to each between.

How is this done? When I hit the quote button the entire quote of the post appears. How do I have only a part of the post I am answering appear in my reply?

After you hit "POST REPLY" you can look below & see the last post. Just highlight the part you want to quote by holding the left mouse button, then hit the "QUOTE" button. VOILA! Only that section will be quoted. 8-)

You can also manually edit, just make sure you don't break the tags like in Poconoeagle's example. It's lot easier if you have nested quotes:

This:

Code: Select all: [quote=someone] [quote="someoneelse"] test [/quote] test [/quote]

Produces this:

someone wrote:
someoneelse wrote:test

test

---------------------------------------------
Note the last bracket in the nested quote tag is missing:

Code: Select all: [quote=someone] [quote="someoneelse"] test [/quote] test [/quote

Produces this:

someone wrote:
someoneelse wrote:test
[/quote
test

Now if you really wanted to get fancy:

Code: Select all: [quote="[url=http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1840745]phpBB 3.0.6 Release Candidate 4 released[/url]"] In an effort to increase product stability we are happy to announce the availability of the fourth release candidate for the next release - phpBB 3.0.6. This fourth release candidate contains mostly regression fixes. Everyone able to should test this release and report critical bugs (those, stopping the operation of the forum) and issues to the bug tracker or directly to the developers. We recommend international support sites to update their sites to RC4 too. We are able to provide direct support to them within our international support sites forums. [/quote]
