Sarah in FL Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I can't seem to figure out how to make that blue quote box show up in my posts. I am sure there is an easy way....can someone tell me how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah in FL Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 There are three ways: 1) When you are replying to a message you can click on the "quote" button and then delete the parts you don't want there. 2) When typing a response, you can select the text you want quoted and then click on the 'quote' icon - you know the menu above the text box? On the line with the B[old] I[talics] and U[nderline] buttons, there is a button between the one with a mountain and the # button. It will put "quote" tags around whatever you have selected. 3) You can cut and paste the text you want quoted and then put the word "quote" in [brackets ] in front of the text and /quote in brackets at the end of the text you want quoted. Thanks Eliana! I am testing the first method in this post:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie T Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Let's see if this works. You got it - hurrah!! I remember the dispropotionate pleasure I felt when I was shown how to select text and make it a link - I was beaming! [if you want to try it: you select the text you want to have be a link and then click on the icon with the globe & link (4 buttons to the left of the quote button) and then enter the url you want... the button with the link X-ed out in red removes the link.

tennislady29 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Ugh! I tried the second method and got the blue box, but it doesn't say who is being quoted. What did I do wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
