Thats how its done, if you press the quote button to the right, that will bring up the quote box in your reply, then edit out the parts you do not want.

If you want to quote from two different replies, such as from yourself and Lincoln Lad, then you click on the middle box in the bottom right-hand corner of the replies - the one with the quotation marks " in it.
Click on them in the order you want them to show. If for instance I'd wanted to show Lad's reply first and then yours I would have clicked on them in that order. Then it would show as

Good question Colin.
Could we run through that again please step by step ?

I know you can click on the box with the word "QUOTE" in it located in the message you wish to quote before you start a reply & get one quote, but I'm still looking for "click on the middle box in the bottom right-hand corner of the replies - the one with the quotation marks " in it.

Thanks Pam and Lincoln Lad. Appreciate your help. Quite logical when you think about it.

My wife keeps nagging me about playing with the computer, that it won't bite and you can't break it. Often though, I hit something - the end result is not what I wanted - and I can't get back to where I started, so have to wait on 'S.W.M.B.O.' gets home to unravel the mess.

Step by step you can add quotes anywhere -


Now is the discount of our winter tent

What you need to use are square brackets [ and ]
oblique stroke /
the word 'quote'
An equals sign =
the name of a member, or anyone really.

So, in front of the quoted passage you need to begin with a left bracket [

after that add the word quote - thus


Then type what you wish to include

You need to then remember to close the quote.

Begin with a left bracket [
then an oblique stroke /
then the word quote - so you should have this [/quote

Finally finish off with a right bracket ]

Thank you. I didn't know how to do it either but I've copied your instructions, Geoffers, and will give it a shot one of these days.
