  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Please help, I'm having some grammatical trouble!

This post may be a little unorthodox but some of you have been on here a long time and I thought I'd just ask.

I'm having one heck of a time using the "quote" feature on CF. Does anyone have any pointers? I've looked at all the FAQs and the help menus.

Also how do you get those cut little quotes at the bottom of your posts or do you have to earn them by so many blessings,reputation, etc.?

Any advice is helpful.:confused:

If you want the cute little quotes at the bottom of your post, go into your profile to the "edit signature" option.

As for "Quotes" in responses, can you be a little more specific? If you just use the "quote" button instead of "reply" it'll quote the post in your reply.

You can always go to the Testing 1,2,3... forum and try stuff out to see if it works without having to worry about looking silly. ;)

You can also "preview post" rather than submit to make sure that you got it formatted right.

One thing you can do is use the quote button on the bottom right side of any post, and it will set up the "quote" tags for you.

Here's the basic format for how the quote tags work. I put some extra spaces in them so that the you could see the text. To use them, you would need to get rid of the space between the "[" and the word "quote"

[ quote] put stuff to quote in here [/quote]
put stuff to quote in here
[ quote=gsmithcat] put stuff to quote in here [/quote]
