Quoting feature

metalspinner · July 11, 2006, 10:30:29 AM

All right, I will finally admit it... I don't know how to use the "quote" feature. I highlight the area that I want to quote, then click the "quote" button, but the entire message gets pasted. If I try to click the "quote" button then highlight the area I want the same thing happens. I'm very confused. ???

I hit the quote button then highlight and delete what I don't want. This can take time with some posts :D

I'm glad I'm not the only one here with a problem. :D :D
Remember, the first step to fixing a problem is to admit you have one. :D

Yes, the quote feature quotes everything, you have to edit out what you dont want in the quotes.

OOhhhhhh. OK.

The other way to do it is to highlight the line of text you want, and right click / copy it.

Then when you write your reply the is an "insert quote" button above the emotes.

Click that to get the "quote /quote" commands and paste the copied text between them.

Then you get this...

QuoteOOhhhhhh. OK.

Can be easier than editing out a 2 or 3 page novel ;)
