Quotations (how to do)

WyomingGrizFan · #1 09-17-2007, 10:23 PM

Just a small question here, but how does one quote from another members previous posting? I used to be able to 'cut and paste' but that doesn't really contain the quoted statement in a box that I've seen others accomplishing. Thanks.

Just start your post by clicking on the Quote button inside the post you wish to quote from. You can then trim the quoted section in your post.

You can also quote multiple people by pressing the "Multi - off" button on each post that you want to quote. They will all be quoted next time you click "Post Reply"

I must admit, I've learned more about PCs, software, and even the occasional website capabilities that exist out there. All thanks to this site. We have a wealth of experts here. I don't know how to run a site, but that's Brad's job.

Well, my first attempt at quoting according to the above directions seems to have came out all right. A lot easier than I thought it would be prior to my question. Thanks again. Really helped me out.

That's O.K. I'am still here. Still researching the accentuation procedures as well: ALT+XXXX as such. I can't understand that with the four-digit up to number nine yielding some 9,999 designations that they haven't progressed with the ASC-II system any further than they have. Like, why not have with the same system different alphabets like the Russian/Ukrainian, Arabic, Hindustani, etc. Seems like a perfectly easy format to utilize.
