The above quote looks really tiny to you? I ask, because it appears normal to me. I am guessing that you might be seeing a quote that was not done correctly. You have to highlight everything you want quoted (or hit "quote" when you respond to the post) and the quoted text has to be inside the quote open and quote close: Code: [quote author=Patient7 link=topic=118029.msg182995#msg182995 date=1203031486] Is anyone else seeing the error described?

He used the quote feature incorrectly. He used the quote in brackets but forgot to add the text in between them. Something like this: {quote}{/quote} I changed the brackets to those perenthese looking things. If you use brackets instead of the perenthese things and don't put text in between them, it looks like this: Quote By the way, anyone know what the actual term for those perenthese looking things are?

These { } are called "BRACES" Title: Re: The quotes aren't workig Post by: Patient7 on February 15, 2008, 07:55:46 PM Well, well, it appears this thread has answered two questions.
