All,
I have posted a couple of things on here and cannot figure out how the reply with quote works. I assume that is how to respond to a particular comment from someone but when I hit reply with quote, I can’t figure out where to type my response. I feel like an idiot so can someone please help.
Thanks

I don’t get it. How could that be easier than just clicking on “Reply with Quote” and typing after the quote in the editing box that pops up?

I’m confused… 🙁
February 23, 2010 at 12:50 pm #204095DavidCMurrayParticipantIf you left click once on the box centered and immediately below this text, the one that says, [b]”Reply with Quote[/b]”, a new text entry box will pop up.
That new text entry box will already contain the text of the message you just read, the message to which you want to reply.
Place your cursor at the end of the quoted text and left click. Then press the “Enter” key to move the cursor down one or two lines. They type away.
When you’ve finished typing your new message, that is, your reply to the quoted text, left click on the [b]”Preview[/b]” button at the bottom of the screen you’re typing on and the text you’re quoting followed by your new message will appear above the text box in its finished form. If you need to edit your message, do so in the text box where you were typing and left click [b]”Preview”[/b] once again; otherwise, left click the [b]”Save”[/b]button at the bottom and your new message, including the quoted text, will be added to the bottom of the discussion thread.
