Not only do you have to click it with every post (or at least, every post where you want it to show up), but if you preview, you have to click it again before submitting. ---

And how many posts did you just waste on that? What exactly was the purpose anyway? ---

I think TGIF was trying for a nested quote. Although I can’t be positive. TGIF? Is this what you’re shooting for? > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Poster 1_ > > > [@](#): > > > > _Originally posted by Poster 2_ > > **Poster 2 says something here** > > Poster 1 says something here. **TGIF** says something here in response to Poster 1’s comment on Poster 2’s post. If that’s it, just hit the quote button to see how I did it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hypergirl \* > \*\*And how many posts did you just waste on that? What exactly was the purpose anyway? \*\* Considering your original 5 OP posts, are you really the one to talk about waste? And obscure tests? Just guessing, it looks to me like he’s had the same trouble as bongel/TPTP in this thread \*\* [Trouble with signature blank lines](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=37743)\*\* At least that’s what I was hoping when he started. I have the same question, namely why do I sometimes get a 1-line sig and sometimes a 3-line sig. But, I thought it might have something to do with typing too far and then backing up. Which I can try now. ---
