You mean in a thread? Or just posting?

You’ll want to use the code:

Code: Select all

[quote]TEXT HERE[/quote]
Put the text you want to quote inside. Or you’ll want to hit the “ button next to the underline in text box above writing a post OR the “ at the right hand corner of a post and just copy paste it.

You write the quote tags or use the editor and click on the speech bubble with quotation marks, which puts the quote tags into your post and then you paste the content between them.

Basically ur saying that I open two tabs, go to sns forum inex, input login info, check the remember me checkbox, login to my account on both tabs, copy the post I wanna quote thats in tab A, on forum A, then paste in, tab B on forum B, then add BBC quote tags to quote the post, [(instead of clicking the quote button, because I dont want to use javascript because an attacker, who is cyberstalking me, keeps running malicious javascript code that force closes my browser)], thereby preventing double sinning.
Is this correct?

Basically.
And if an attacker really can run javascript on your browser he either has access to your pc already or your router.
Otherwise they wouldn't be able to redirect safe web page scripts to something not save/inject malicious scripts.
In the first case, you should completely wipe your pc and set it up again, in the second case reset the router and use a better password or get a better one with newer firmware.
That is, assuming it is really malicious java scripts and not just a browser or plugin error. Because if all that the malicious scripts do is crash your browser, this is like the best case scenario concerning scripts.
