HOW TO?? "Quote" more than one,

[KimRaye]

in the same thread when replying? I've tried, by my own insufficient means but, I see others doing it so, I know it can be done. Can you tell me how?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the best way but I highlight and copy the text and then go into the text/reply box. I type in [QUOTE} [/QUOTE} (but use the ] bracket on both sides) and then paste the quote between the QUOTE tags. If you want to make the inside words bold, you can put [B}, then paste the quote and then type [/B} after the quote (again, using the [ ] on either side).

Is that clear or did that confuse you more?

 

[KimRaye]

Thanks Tricia. I understand your instructions, I just thought there might be an easier way.

Everyone agree with DG's way? Is that how Y'ALL do it?! (LOL)

HEY NOW! You're gonna' get knocked out of Tricialand and your title of DG's Favorite DISer will be stripped away from ya' if you keep THAT up!! LOL And its ya'll not y'all. The first is Ya-ll the second would be pronounced y-all which obviously does not sound right and doesn't flow. It has to FLOW off your tongue. Learn to speak it (or at least write it!!) or get out of Tricialand!!

Sometimes I'll open up a second window to the same thread. I'll use the quote feature for the first one and then copy and past it again into the text reply box (in the first window). Then I'll go into the other window, copy the second quote and then paste it over the quote in the second set. I'm not sure if that is any easier or not. I've done a lot of web design over the years and those tags come so natural to me now that that way is just as easy for me but I'm not sure about for others.

No, please, don't banish me from Tricialand! You're right, the least I could do is learn how to type Ya'll ~ now saying it and having it "flow", might be another story! You can test me in June, OK?

And, I like the idea you posted about other windows being open! I actually think I understand that, too! Now, all I need is another opportunity to try this out!

Thank you, Queen of Tricialand!! I bow down to ya' and beg forgiveness!

 

[Dopeygirl]

Ummm, why don't you try it out on this thread??!

 

[KimRaye]

Are you trying to test me?

LOL

 

[Dopeygirl]

Is that a problem?

 

[KimRaye]

Yeah, tonight it is, actually. My brain hurts! (CB has more insight on this right now)


Tricia, I will keep this thread "alive" through my PM box and, I will try this, I promise! Hey, I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know! Thanks!!!
