How can I quote a post from a certain thread in ANOTHER/DIFFERENT thread?

#1

Post by Wartstein »

Need advice please:

I just can´t figure out how to quote a post of a certain thread in another / different thread.
So lets say I want to quote a post in a "K390 thread" in an "Endura thread"

Same is true for quoting a post from a previous page int the same thread:
So lets say I want to quote a post from page two of a certain thread, but we are already on page 5 of that thread.

I´d appreciate your help! :)

Go to the post that you want to quote and click on "Reply with quote". When the "Post a reply" dialogue box appears, highlight all the text in that box, then copy it.

Go to the "Quick reply" box of the other thread and paste the text there.

Thanks, mate! :)
That really helped - pretty easy and obvious in the end, but I still was not smart enough to find out myself.. ;)

Still not able to figure it out. Can’t paste into the other thread’s quick reply box.

I’m on an iPad, if that makes a difference.
