It's called quoting, and there is a handy guide in the off topic section of the forum called "The KaW Color, Font, and Picture Guide" By Dillybar that will give you all the details you want to know on how to do it.
I remember that before I quit kaw for a bit kaw had a notification whenever someone left/joined the clan. Did this stop happening for everyone or is it just me?
How is it possible I can steal from a person with no spy buildings for a whole unload? I find this weird and worrying that attacks builds can hit me.
^ I have a similar question. I was at 0 troops and someone two times my size managed to steal from me 4 times when I had 0 spies
Im going to answer this question with the assumption that when you say "0 troops" this is due to you having no spy/troop buildings, and not simply because youve unloaded and simply have not regenned yet? If thats the case, then you are an OSF/OAF (all spy/all attack respectively). If this is the case, then players can attack/steal you all the want until youve got no gold left, as long as you have not got your bar (the stat you have buildings for) above 20%. This is why pure spies should never have allies. If you are not a OSF/OAF, then refer to Belle's fight mechanics thread. Try and lurk around and see what some of the better forummers are posting and try and emulate them. That will help you.
