It's tricky I know, but it's doable.<br/><br/>Does everyone know how to quote someone else's post? <br/><br/>Here is the recommended procedure for posting cross thread comms:<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Thread 1</strong></td><td><strong>Thread 2</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Character A posts a call to Character B in thread 2</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Player B quotes the post that Player A made, copies the full text, then cancels the post he is quoting to</td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td>Player B pastes the quoted post into a new post.</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>Player B edits the quote to remove everything except the quote tags and the content of the call. He then adds what Character B was doing prior to getting the call from Character A in front of the quote and his reaction to the call after the quote, including what he says back. He then saves the post</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>Player A quotes player B's post and copies the quote, then cancels his new post</td></tr><tr><td>Player A creates a new post and pastes the quote in</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Player A edits the quote and removes everything except the quote tags and the actual reply to his call. He then adds any reaction he might have including the next part of the conversation...</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><br/>Repeat <em>ad nausium</em><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>This confused the crap out of me for a while there...<br/>I think I've got it now though. You post the message in the thread that you're in and send a PM to the player to whom the message should go, so that they know they have a message waiting. They then quote the message and copy it into their thread to respond to it...<br/>Simple enough...
