Obviously, change the two file paths to match your own site.
Upload snap.gif to the correct path on the server. I've attached the one IPB use, but use any you like.


Next, open the template newpost_quote, and add this code where you want the arrow to appear:

[s]$postinfo[postid][/s]

I have mine at the beginning of the code.

This will give you the basics of the same thing IPB have for viewing quoted posts in full.

Mark,

Thank you so much for your help, I've got it working of sorts.

This is what my newpost_quote template says now:

 QUOTE=$originalposter]{$pagetext}[s]$postinfo[postid][/s][/QUOTE]

(I had to remove the first [ from the code because it kept posting it as a quote)

Have I got something wrong because the messagenumberdoesn'tshowupandtheposter's name isn't a link. Alsotheimageappearsdirectlyafter thelastcharacter of the quote, I can'tseemtoinsertany spacesafter thetextbefore the image appears.

I'm very happy to have my quote links back though, thanks again
