This is what I want without having to type out "original post by Dustin"

Original post by Dustin
I'm cute. Quote me.

I've seen people do it and the original post by xxx is usually in italic.

How cha do it Dave?

You just have to imbed the itallic code within the quote code...

I'll see if I can show you:

{QUOTE}{i}DustinLC{/i}
I'm cute. Quote me.{/QUOTE}

Just replace the "{" with "["

I thought there was a quick way of just copy and paste without having to go through typing out somebody's name and put it in itallic.

Usually, it's like "original post by xxx " in italic.

I assume the person didn't have to actually type in those words but just did some copy and paste or hit some button. Could be wrong.

I always thought they just hard-typed that. I wasn't aware that there was some automatic/programatic way to include their name...

I thought it was some short cut because everyone does it the exact same way. At sites that uses the same type of forum (don't know what this is call), like DVDtalk, I noticed that everyone italic the original poster's name. At DVDtalk, every has the "original quote by XX", same format, on the left and italic.

It could be that everyone picked this up and does it the exact same way I suppose.

Dustin, I know exactly what you're talking about and agree that I see it too often for it to be random or done exactly the same way by everyone if its not a short-cut.

Yet, I don't know how to do it either! :frowning:
