i thought it ws simple but i cant figure out how to take what i want to quote and put it into my reply. boy do i feel dumb :rolleyes: so, friends, i am counting on you to HELP!!! thanx
ps. i think i am going to plant garlic in a couple of days, i know it doesnt sound so exciting but for me it os. and hopefully it will do better than the stuff i lantd in the summer(almost everything died)

Like it really isn't safe for ME to be explaining this...but I will try.

Copy & paste the "quote" you want to use. If you aren't familiar with how to copy & paste....simply left click your mouse and scan over the part of the post you want to quoye, this will highlight it. Then left click on the highlighted part and choose ...copy.
When you are posting...go to the tabs under the post box...choose "quote"...then in between the quotations...left click then right click on "paste"....and there you ahve it. There may be an easier way to do it...but this is the only way I know...hope this helps. If I have totally confused you, someone will come along and correct me to where you will understand.....give her a try!

Hello Hinda and 4Ruddy, glad you ask that because I didn't know either. Thanks 4Ruddy (I think)

If you are using the "QUICK REPLY" form, you can:

thanks so much!
[QUOTE]. Copy & Paste.[See Vanessa/4Ruddy post above]

2. At the beginning, type QUOTE inside [ ]

3. At the end, type /QUOTE inside [/QUOTE ]

oops, i guess i am not so smart!

you almost had it. you just got a space inside the brackets with the /quote. try again!

Yes...be very cautious of what I tell you!!!! It is a very scary thought to think I would be giving ANYBODY instructions on ANYTHING having to do with the computer...much less the forum! Mr. Bill is probably in a panic right now!!!!!

Well the easiest way is to hit the quote " " button on the post you want to quote from, then you can edit or delete the parts you don't want.

that is so true comfrey, and would have been so easy to say! but... like all true gardeners, we tend to do things the hard way

did this work this time?

thanx everyone!!!

this is just all way too complicated. Just copy what someone else wrote, don't put quotations around it and claim it for your own. If they complain about it tell them it was really your idea first anyway so it doesn't count. It only works though if you steal a good idea, otherwise you just sound unedjamacated.
