How to use the quote feature on the boards? (Q&A)

[GoldenEagle]

How do you use the quote feature here at Worthy Christian Forums?

[GoldenEagle]

Here’s some tips for organising your posts.

 

Option A: Quote Feature/Button at the bottom of posts...
Click on the quote button on the bottom right of the post you are wanting to quote.

 

 

This is what it looks like... The benefit here is that the quote has the name of the person quote and the timestamp/date.

Option B: Copy and Paste to Word with quote brackets...

I often copy and paste the full post into a Word document and then add the separating quote functions. This not only helps me organize my posts but also allows me use spellcheck. To separate the post enclose each section with 

 at the beginning and [/quote ] at the end. (Without the spaces in the brackets. )
 

Example:

Hi I'm Golden Eagle
[/quote ]

It looks like this:

Hi I'm Golden Eagle

Thanks Ninhao for your help with this one.
 

Option C: Quote Feature/Button in the menu bar
Use the quote button up top. It is the button with the light yellow " to the left of the blue twitter button in the toolbox above.

 

 

Hope this helps!

OK, GE, I have a samsung galaxy note 10.1 pad. The only blue twitter box is below and there is nothing yellow to the left or anywhere near it. I can't use smiley faces either--no access to them. Nor can I copy and paste. When I use the quote, it quotes the whole thing and if I try to edit it, unless I remove the middle it won't post. So I can't quote from other sources either. I don't know if the problem is my pad, the app that worthy sends to my pad, or the user (me), since I still wouldn't have a yellow box with a W in it if you hadn't got tired of looking at my shadow.

So just call me "out of the loop".

Hi Willamina. Just noticed your post.

Are you using the mobile version of WCF in your pad, and using also your web browser? (I didn't know there's a downloadable app for WCF; is there, like a Facebook app?)

Anyway, I'm using a mobile phone (Nokia E5, which has a qwerty keyboard) to browse WCF, and I've found ways to circumvent some of the limitations of the mobile version of this site. Hope some of these would help you... (I know that you've said you cannot copy and paste, and much of my advice depends on these functions, so I'm suggesting that you find out if your pad is really capable of these functions or not.)

First, I'm using tags and templates when I make my posts. Login to this site using a desktop computer and learn how the tags in the post editor work -- they show up when you switch to text mode. (You can make a draft message in your Messenger.) Then when you're using your pad, you can then insert tags to give your post some formatting, like bold and italic. Also, you can setup these tags as templates, so that you won't have to type them every time you make a post. For example, I compose my posts in messaging, and before I type, I first insert a basic template of tags that set my font face, font color, and font size. After I finished writing, I then copy and paste my post (together with the tags) into the Worthy editor. Alternatively, if your pad has a text program, you can save all your templates as text files (make them using a computer, and set their attributes to Read-Only), and just copy and paste them whenever you write your posts.

Second, I have collected the HTML codes of some useful colors (e.g. #70DB93 for aquamarine). I use them whenever I use the color tags. (I think you will not be needing this much.)

Third, I use emoticons by typing their equivalent text characters, say . To see these equivalent text characters, login again to this site using a desktop computer, and in the post editor bring up the list of all emoticons ("Show All"). On the left of each emoticon is its equivalent text characters. I suggest that you gather from this master list the emoticons you would commonly use.... Alternatively, you can save the master list as a web page (copy the address in the popup window and paste it in a normal browser window; reload the page and save it), and then transfer the saved page into your pad. You can then consult this saved page in your pad whenever you write your post -- that is, if your pad's web browser supports multitab and can open local HTML pages.

And fourth, I have bookmarked all the forums and other useful areas (like Notifications) of WCF into my phone's web browser (they are arranged in folders). This way I can navigate this site easily.

Yes, all this sounds like a lot of work, but I have considered it an investment that was worth my time and effort. And so far, I've no reason to regret it

If you have time, you can also download HTML copies of some Bibles into your pad. This way, you'll only have to open them in your browser and copy and paste from them (that is, if your browser can do this) whenever you need to quote from the Scriptures. eBible.org offers free HTML versions of the KJV, ASV, and WEB.

A word about my browsers: I use either Opera Mini or Opera Mobile. Both supports multitab. Only the second is reliable in copying and pasting. And only the second can open local HTML pages.

God bless, Sister....

One last thing:

Opera Mobile (at least the version of it that is made for my phone) has no built-in option to open local HTML pages. I do it by first opening the page in my phone's default browser (using the File Manager), and then saving the page as a bookmark. Opera Mobile can then read and import this bookmark.

Blessings & Merry Christmas to All,

    Willa,perhaps you need to simply hit the toggle switch that will enable you to use all the features such as "copy/paste",which was my problem ....the toggle switch is the very first icon that looks like a square keyhole all the way to the left (above the B)...to the very right of your avatar pic.........Hope this helps

I'm still trying to figure some things out. I just bought an ipad so things are different.

I'm not following everything being said on this thread, but I will figure it out. I always do- perseverance is my middle name.
