A bit of help needed:

Post by Rush »

I've been familiarizing myself with the features of the boards here, and truth be told, I am having problems with the "quote" feature. You know...you type in a response to a topic, and in that response, you feature a quote from a prior entry. I seem to be doing it wrong, and would greatly appreciate any help offered.

Thanks for listening...

I just click the "quote" button in the lower right hand corner of the post, and then start typing my response... Is that not working for you?

Wow-! I actually got it. Thank you Hawkwind-! I can't understand, now, how I was messing it up. Of course..now that I've learned a new thing...something else has to be pushed out of my head in order to make room. Ah well...such is life.

I'm pretty sure I'll forget my own name one of these days through that method.

:D The first part had a '/' in front of the word 'quote'. The only time you use that is at the end. It lets the software know your done quoting. The thing I find hard about that is different forum use different symbols at the beginning and the end of the word. Some use '<...>", most use '[...]'. And I forget which one to use at times.

Thanks Dragonlady-! I'll catch on eventually...lol

At times, I at least feel fortunate enough knowing the two most important keys of all upon a computer, which are labeled...

Key one: "Make go..."

Key two: "Make not go..."
