Danno Posted October 13, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Just a little thing...when you are quoting another post, could you edit it down to the line or paragraph that you wish to address...I am re-reading posts to understand the point of the reply.

Blazerboy Posted October 13, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Alberttiger! 197 days to go! To just quote a line, you have two options: One: after you hit reply, scroll down to the message you're quoting, select(highlight) the sentence you want to quote using your cursor, and click copy. Then scroll back to your reply, and hit the button that looks like a cartoon speach: and then place the cursor bewteen the two "quote" word that appear in your message, and click copy. When you actually post, the quote will appear in a blue box. Downside is that it doesn't say who posted it. Or, two: just press the quote button in the lower right hand corner of someone's post, and the whole quote will appear in your message, but you can then trim it down just to the sentence that's relevant by highlighting and deleting everything else but that sentence. Advantage is that it says "Oringially posted by blazerboy:" (or whoever your'e quoting;) ) above the blue box quote. Note: Formatting doesn't always look right when you're typing your message, but usually straightens itself out once you hit 'reply.'

albertiger Posted October 14, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 14, 2005 thanks for the moral support Anne, sometimes when you disagree with "the club" that thinks they own "X", you take a beating. no big deal though, just felt misunderstood and no amount of back and forth was going to enlighten anyone so set in their ways!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeneg Posted October 14, 2005 #12 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Don't forget the Windows shortcuts for copying and pasting: CNTRL ( Control Key) + C = Copy the highlighted area to the clipboard CNTRL+V= Paste the copied material from the clipboard.

Coolcruise02 Posted October 14, 2005 #13 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I have a little issue with people who copy the whole post, like a review, then add a comment like "nice review". We just read it, you don't have to re-post the whole thing. :) (sorry, just had to vent) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1moty Posted October 14, 2005 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2005 and for me, the computer stupid, how is that done??:confused: At the bottom right of the post you wish to quote you will see a "quote" button, click on that and it will open a new post box for you, with the quote already there for you. Just like that, you are computer smart again!! Congrats!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
