What if going to open a topic and its already somewhere?

Dear Admin.

I've recently joined the forum. Although it is super well organized and being super well managed but unfortunatetly I failed to find answers to following questions!!!.

1- What will happened (or what should I do) if I'm going to open a topic (or ask a question) which has already been posted somewhere else in the same or other forum and I was not smart enough to reach it.

2-I always feel confusing in putting quotes of other members in my reply. Do you please mention somewhere "step by step guide" to put quotes from any where in a reply.

Regards.

Of course it is better if you try to search for an existing topic first before starting a new one., but nobody will shoot you for not finding it. Check out the help files for all sorts of assistance using the forums (you can even search the help files )

Here are some instructions I created:

One tip on quoting when you click either the quote or multi-quote button you delete any text from between the tags that you do not want to quote.

I hope this helps. If you have further questions I will be happy to answer them. Oh and here are some quote tags if you want to quote by hand instead of using buttons.
