whats the easiest way to quote just a snippit out of someones post?
thanks i did the delete approach, just seeing if that was the best way...
Already answered by others, but if you want to get real carried away and quote multiple people and have their quote include their name and the 'jump back' arrow beside their name, you can do the following:whats the easiest way to quote just a snippit out of someones post?
Quoted as a sample of this method.If you want the name above the quote just hit the reply with quote thingy and delete what you don't want.
If you don't care if the name is in the quote just highlight what you want, copy it, open a reply window and paste. Then highlight the text and click the surround with quote button (the little icon between the picture button and th # sign).
Quoted for the same purpose.Lanny,
In the reply message box there is an icon that looks like a balloon for comic strips on the right side of the icons (about a third of the way over from the left). This button will place quotes around text that you have highligted inside the message box. Copy and Paste the potion of the text into the message box first, then highlight/select it in the reply message box, and then select the icon.
If you want the persons name to appear with the quote, go to the begining of the quote where the phrase "Quote" is in barckets. Inside the right bracket after the word Quote insert an equal sign "=" and type the name of the person. This is the html code necessary to perform what your looking for.
