It works! Yes! Thanks JandJ Dad!

just wonder what the check of “Quote message in reply” for?

23

[QUOTE<em>]
Quoted message
[/QUOTE</em>]

THANK YOU SO MUCH :smiley:

I’m both testing using a quote and wondering the same question. I also like other forums that have a preview option before posting.

25

If you click on “Go Advanced” under the Quick Reply area, you have the option to preview your message.

Thanks MaineLonghorn.

This is perfect! I’ve been finding out how to do this for a while…

Ok, now for the next test, and if that fails i guess i get to test the “edit” function.

I had to search to find this thread…

Hmm . . yes looks like it works but I’m wondering if the / is really necessary?

On the other hand, with the boards I’ve been on that have a ‘reply with quote’ button, people often don’t bother to edit out the dross and just leave in the part they are targeting in their response. Maybe that was the issue here.

38

Yes indeed it looks like the / is necessary!
