How do I quote in CKEditor?

[Think_Blue]

I can’t seem to use the quote function at all. If I click “Quote” in response to a post, the quote won’t appear in the editing window. Yet I notice others able to quote previous posts in the same thread.

I even tried using BBcode style syntax to manually quote someone else, and CKEditor won’t accept it.

How exactly do I quote someone else?

Is there an option available for me to use the earlier editor previous to CKEditor?

There seems to be an incompatibility between CKEditor and the forum software.

I can’t even quote myself.

I have asked this same question several times within threads and I never received a response.

Maybe I can use blockquote?

Y = C + I + G + (X - M)

Interesting.

Is this what you’re trying to do? If so, click on “reply” and look at the code in the bracketes . It has to be typed manually, kind of a pain, but not too bad. You can use cut and paste for the content of the quote, which works fine.

Did this work?

Let’s try nested quotes.

Thanks chloe732!! It’s a bit of a hack, but it works.
