Why can I not figure out how to shorten a quote? I have been trying since the dark ages & it never lets me shorten them. And I don't know how people only pull a little bit of a quote either.

Smart people, please help stupid person.

I always get an error that I misquoted when I try to pull out just the last person to reply to. I usually just delete out all the words but leave the [name]s.

Can't you just ....show up?

This.

You can edit whatever you want between the quote brackets.

See, I can make it look like you said this:

hmmmm

well, that kind of worked LOL

I will continue to screw this up all day, as I practice this new trick. You have all been warned.

There are two quote brackets at the very top of the post. The second one and everything before the last quote bracket at the bottom is what you would edit or delete if you needed to. Took me FOREVER to figure that out. And, I still can't figure out how to quote multiple people in the same post. Embarrassed

I'm lame. I don't see the quotes. I'm looking at the very top...

BTW thanks lilbit. I don't know how to do this either.

So long as you leave the open & close quote tags alone (what's in the brackets), you can edit out any of the enclosing text you want.

I quote multiple people by right clicking on the Quote link & opening it in a new tab, then copying & pasting that quoted text back into my main reply field.

I'm a little bit of a computer nerd and I've been around here way too damn long. (I was on TK before this with a different SN too.)

and yes. Ice cream is totally accepted as payment.

ha-ha I instantly looked at your date and was like....uhm.
