I have been looking at other's who bring quotes from other posts and was wondering how that was done. It takes me a while to learn any thing but I am now starting to like this and it makes it easier to recall the actual words someone used. Would you mind explaining the process for doing that?

Well, there is a "quote" button at the top right corner of each post, that's how you do it. It will quote all of that post plus give the date and time of the quote.
But quite frankly, *I* prefer just to copy and paste the part of the post I'm quoting and make it bold in my post like this......
Would you mind explaining the process for doing that?
The quote thing almost gives you TOO much information, plus, it's a little hard to read, it's so small.

Copy and Paste? Quote and Bold? which is the easier to learn first and then I'll progress to the more difficult one. It really is good because you can't say you were misquoted.

wAIT ONE MORE QUESTION? How do you do it when you just want part of what the person wrote. Is there a way to highlight it and do I highlight what I want to quote before i hit the quote button?

I suppose the quote is easiest to learn first. You're reading a post, and see something you want to respond to. At the top of that post, on the right, there is a "quote" icon. (on your own posts only there will be "quote, modify, delete") You click quote, and a reply window comes up with the whole thing quoted for you, and then you go down and type your response. Like I just did with this one. Practice for me! ;D |
