If you want to challenge me on anything that I've written, then go ahead, but please can you avoid quoting the whole of the post. Its great for my ego to have my posts endlessly repeated, but actually its a pain in the arse for everybody else.

When you click "reply" - you get the following:
[quote name='weirdmusic' date='22 August 2011 - 05:12 PM' timestamp='1314029579' post='7266'] 
....whole of the post....[/quote]

Instead of the whole post, use the following:
[quote name='weirdmusic' date='22 August 2011 - 05:12 PM' timestamp='1314029579' post='7266'] 
....some part [/quote]
your text

[quote] ...........another bit [/quote]
your text

[quote] ......... another bit [/quote]
etc

If you write
 [quote]......[/quote]
around the bits you want, & delete the rest, begin a new line, write what you want to say,
then press preview the section of interest will appear in a green box with your text below it.
You can do this multiple times if required.

Its often easier to use notepad (especially for long posts) - copy the whole thing across, paste into notepad,
do what you need to do, then copy/paste everything back, preview it, check for errors, then reply.
