the quote bits at the end of peoples posts

Unread postby Jake_old » Fri 27 Jan 2006, 16:30:19

How do you put a quote thing at the end of all your posts?

You know, gnm's is

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')an't sleep 8O clowns will eat me!


PraireMules is

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')I'm afraid I can't use a mule. I have several hundred up on Capitol Hill." –Ronald Regan refusing a gift of a mule


feel a bit embarrassed that I can't figure it out.

Where it says write in HTML code? Do I need to read a book before I'm capable of doing it?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('RedJake', 'W')here it says write in HTML code? Do I need to read a book before I'm capable of doing it?

:-D below is a great HTML tutorial if you want to learn. Otherwise, just put regular text.

Thanks, I didn't know you could just type it but it doesn't seem to want to save my changes.

Perhaps its a bad quote :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('RedJake', 'T')hanks, I didn't know you could just type it but it doesn't seem to want to save my changes.

Perhaps its a bad quote :)

It may be a length issue. 255 characters is the maximum, i believe. Try a short one just as a test.

And make sure the 'Always attach my signature:' option is yes.

My sig didn't show up until a day after I entered it on my profile page. So it could still be in the pipeworks somewhere.

Sorry I should have been a bit more specific. My sig did show up on my profile page instantly but didn't turn up at the end of any of my posts until a day later.

I just heard it last night

Shimon Peres addressing the younger generations said

"Don't be like us, be different"

I've been pondering that for the last 24 hours.

Good quote! :)

Raxozanne's experience may apply to you indirectly. There are two servers now and your quote may not be getting stored on either server due to a bug. That would explain why none of your changes are getting saved, and why it doesn't appear on the end of your posts. Just another SWAG, but that could be it.
