Na long story. I also got a little frustrated with the ignorance of it all. I had to just keep practising till I got it right. You can delete you posts if you do not like what you see quoted and start all over again.
1. Go to your reply button.
2. Scroll down to the poster you want to quote and hit the underlined
"insert quote"letters located on the upper, right handed, corner below the date and time of the poster you want to quote. If it does not appear in your reply box, try again till if appears in the reply box. If it appears more than once, delete one of the duplicates.
3. Please make sure your personal comments are out side the
"quote" or you would quote yourself and the poster's all together like I did below.
I don't really know how to insert quote, can someone please help me?
my comments are inside the quotation box with yours-----
Instead of:
I don't really know how to insert quote, can someone please help me?
my comments are outside the quotation box.You can post your comments
before or after you "quote" a poster or several posters.
4. Sometimes you may have to quote a poster's write-up not located on the scroll down page. Or you would want to quote a poster's written words from way back. This involves the use of "copying" and "pasting". You also have to know how to use the
"quote" function too and it gets a little tricky.
Like I said hook up with a fellow Nairalander and let him or her go over it with you in detail, or just keep practicing and you will eventually get good at it like I did.
Good luck!
