Todd, or anyone else who wants to help, how are people picking up a quote from a previously posted message and inserting into a reply?

I've poked and prodded and have proven one thing, I'm not smart enough to figure it out! :confused:

If you want to reply to someones post and include their quote, look at the bottom of the post you want to respond to, and there is a button called Quote. Click it and a reply window will open up with their message already wrapped in quote tags.

You can remove any part of the quote that you want, if you only want to reply to a specific section.

Try it with this post.

Mike;

I'm computer ignorant. I clicked on the quote and did what you said, removed some of your post but how do I add my message; then submit?

Oh yeah...

Don't delete the opening or closing Quote Tags in the post you may be trimming.

I Am New To Computers. I Didn"t Know That If I Type Like This You Think I Am Yelling. If I Can Quote A Post Then Anyone Can.
