Videos to help with quoting other posters correctly
Posted: March 8th, 2020, 6:14 am
We sometimes see new posters struggle a little with the Lemon Fool quoting process, so I've created this short video to show how a simple 'single cut down reply' can be created, which keeps the correct user-attribution working for the original quote -

The above video link can be expanded to full screen to help with visibility.
The steps are as follows -
1. Check which section of the original post you're wanting to reply to.
2. Select the 'double quotes' icon to the top-right of the post you're wanting to reply to.
3. Edit out (select and delete) any sections of the original post that are superfluous to your needs, leaving just the section you're wanting to reply to.
4. Underneath the smaller quoted section, write your reply.
5. Preview the post to check for completeness, and continue editing if required.
6. Select the 'Submit' button to submit the post to the board when happy with the preview process (not shown on video).
Hope this helps - I do plan to compose a similar video showing an improved method to quote multiple posters at the same time, but I thought I'd create this simple 'single-reply' video first, to let me link to it when users seem to be having some issues with the board software.
Cheers,
