Re-posting a report from another forum

[Paul]

Ok, so you have written a report on another forum and want to also post it here.... How do you do it??

If you just select all the text from the post you lose the links to any images that you may have posted.... but do not fear, there is a simple way around it.


On the majority of forums there is the option to "Quote" your original message.

Simply click quote on the post you wish to copy, and a new message will open with the original post wrapped with

Code: Select all

[quote]Your report[/quote]

Simply delete the [quote] tags, select the entire text, copy it, then paste it into a new message on here!!!

Simples!!

Dead easy with this method.....all your pictures* etc will be maintained, just a quick copy and paste job then

(*so long as the images arent uploaded as attachments on the first site!)
