Title: Help Please!
Post by: Mizar on December 02, 2009, 03:43:30 PM
Question. Sometimes when People Post Messages, the next Person, will just take One or Two Sentences, out of it and make a Reply, just to that part of the Post. I Tried this. I Highlighted, the part of the Persons Post I wanted, I hit Quote, but in my Reply, Box, the whole Message appeared. How do I get, just the part, I want to appear, in my Reply Box?  Thanks.

This is how I do it.  Hit the quote button and then just delete what you don't want shown.  But you have to leave the end sets (beginning and end of post)  I don't know their specific name, sorry.   Usually I just quote and then highlight and  BOLD what I am replying to.  I hope this helps.

Here is how I do it. I highlight and copy the part of the post that I want to quote.

Then after I have hit reply, I select the little quote button above the smilies. That adds the html code for quote. Once that is in the reply pane, I paste the part I copied between the beginning and ending html for quotes.

I hope that helps.  :2thumbsup;

Did I get it right?



EDITED:No, you took part of the quote tag off the end part of the quote tag-You have to leave the brackets around the parts that tell the HTML code what to do.  fixed quote tag error- kitkatz, Moderator

No, that's not right, because, My Reply, came up in the same Box as the Quote. Oy Vay!

Hit Quote, delete the parts you don't need, then scroll down past the formatting "/quote" tag and type your comment.

Mizar, both you and okarol look so young to be on dialysis. You both write so intelligently for both being so young. It is such a shame to be three and four and have to go to dialysis, Good Luck!

okarol isn't on dialysis.  Her daughter was until she received a living donor a few years ago.

Not all the avatars are the IHD members.  Some use pictures of their family members except I think Dan.  I am pretty sure he is not related to any of his avatars.

YLGuy, that's to easy of a set up for a joke for Dan  :rofl; :rofl; and he'd probably be making one.


On the other hand, you could take hurlock's thinking as a compliment to how young you 2 look  ;D
