The "quote" is one of the great features of this forum, because it shows exactly what the writer is referring to. I figured it was just a matter of copy/paste but it doesn't seem to work that way. I searched but came up empty.

What is the trick? :confused24:

Please explain. Thanks

Brother! I knew it was going to be simple, but not that simple! I guess I had never noticed. I hope I ride better than I read!

Thanks.

Don't you mean lower right side?? Also a person can multi quote too. As shown here.

I couldn't figure out how to do the multiple quote thing until Freebird told me to click all the (")s at the lower right of the quotes I want to quote and then the post reply button.

As above, you can key anything you want into the text and make it appear as a quote by using the [ ] keys on your keyboard...

" [ " then " quote=JimBob " then " ] " then " body text " then " [ " then " /quote " then " ] "

(leave out the " and the spaces and of course the word "then") I had to do it this way otherwise it winds up as a quote.

OK dray, I think we can "officially" say that you qualify for a "showoff" award:)
