How do you guys quote part of a reply?  I've tried it, but I can't get it to work right.

Sorry, dumb joke.

There should be a quote button at the top right of whichever post you'd like to quote.

hit the "quote" link to the right of your relevant post.

"Son, there's a thin line between crazed and rabid"

hey samir - I can do that, but then how do you just post part of the quote?  do you need to go into the reply and delete what you don't want to show up?  Is there a difference between PC and Mac in the forum?

I don't remember why or how I found this, but ALAS, I did!

Also, Samir is far more articulate than me!

Also, yeah, just selectively delete parts that aren't to your liking.

thanks satchmo and samir

I think I have it now.  Satchmo - that is some "cereal-isy" crazy stuff on that link you sent - check out Lizzie's long-winded post, I think you'll enjoy it!

yep.

You may also want to highlight certain words that you've quoted, press the strikethrough button, type new words next to the words you just did the strikethrough on and then, beneath the end of the quote, type "Fixed!"

This is considered the highest form of comedy.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!
