Quoting

Sheila asked about quoting...I hope this will help...

When you see something in a post that you want to quote, you, of course, hit the quote button.

Image

That person's ENTIRE post will show up in your white typing window. Delete any part of the quote you don't want included, but you MUST have the beginning QUOTE code AND the ending QUOTE code, like what's highlighted below. You MUST HAVE ALL code as highlighted included in your quote. (It's a little hard to see the ending bracket after the opening quote - Bethers"] like this giant red end bracket.

Image

Then you just type your reply starting below the /quote end bracket (the very last thing I highlighted.)

Or you can be lazy like me and type the quotes - the beginning would be like this:

[ quote ]

the end like this

[ /quote ]

WITHOUT the spaces.

so if I typed that without the spaces you'd see this:

the end like this

Ok,I'm trying this to see if it works!! You told me one time in a PM how to do this, but seems much simpler with your visuals!
