Advice needed
I have created a forum, and I want to offer the user the ability to quote a previous post, just as you do in this forum.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks.

this will take quite a bit of custom coding to accomplish, We could help implement this in a premiere support appointment.
The basic Idea is this:
We have custom markup tags that we support, for a quote the tag is:
[ quote by="name"]quote goes here[ /quote]
(i added a space to the quote tags to prevent the translator from treating them as a quote)
We then write a php function that acts as a translator to convert the custom mark up to HTML markup:
<div class="quote"><h2>by: name</h2>quote goes here</div>
to get the quote we store the username and text from the original post into a hidden field and when someone checks the quote option we move it into the textarea using the pre-defined markup as described above.
just thought I would cheekily ask if you would be able to post a tutorial on how you created the forum please?
thanks

There was a lot of custom coding that went into the development of the forum, that would go far beyond the scope of a tutorial.
thanks Jason... was hoping that mrs might be persuaded ;)
