Hi All.

In an effort to keep threads organized, I believe it would greatly benefit people if they knew quote others. If I’m answer someone’s post, it’s much more organized if I have a quote of what they said, and other people will know what I’m talking about.

So here’s how you quote posts.

First copy the desired post.
Next, got to the reply box and paste the copied post.
At the beginning of the post you just pasted, type:

[QUOTE]

At the end of the of the post you pasted, type:
[/QUOTE]

Remove the stars, I added them here so you could see the quote text.

Thank you! That does help.

I have to say that I can’t believe it’s so hard to do that. I’m really surprised that TPTB can’t make it simpler. For every other board I’ve been on, it’s been at most a 2-step process.
