    Hey guys,

    I’m not a frequent contributer,so I tend to forget how to do things.
    How do you extract a “quote” from an entry and add it to your message?? Thanks

    You hit the quote button instead of reply on the post you want to quote.

    Just like Kevin said. Plus make sure you start typing below the last “quote”. Other wise your post will look like the following.

    Otherwise if you want just a part of the quote, do the highlight and copy with your right mouse button, then hit the normal ‘reply’, then down right side is the ‘Instant UBB Code’ press quote and just paste inside the partial quote

    I don’t think I need to go to work today cuss I learned something new already. I’ve always hit Reply and then the Quote from within the Reply. Then I’ve had to copy and past the text I want to include within the Quote area. This is much easier. Thanks.
