Ok, I don't know how to do quotes

[aquadancer]

Hi, just joined. Have avoided doing quotes in forums, think I'd better learn how as things get involved here.
I finally figured out to click on the little quote symbol. Later I discovered the multiquote symbol [so that's how people do that]. Unfortunately, my replies also end up in the grey quote boxes, so that my replies look like part of the quote, and I end up in a mess. Help me.

Put the word quote inbetween these [ ] at the beginning of whatever it is that you want to quote. At the end, do the same thing, but put a / before the word quote.

You can do this as many times as you'd like, for whatever you wish to quote.

I am seeing if it works. The quote is already between brackets at the beginning.

I am keeping you busy today, MJS. Just previewed this, and OMG, it worked! [does my excitement give away that not much I do on computer works?] I am self-taught, sorta like what some of the members said when I mentioned teaching myself martial arts.

Yes, when you hit the quote button, it'll quote the entire post, but you can break that up accordingly, which you've already done.

As for keeping me busy...not a problem. Glad I could help. This is helping me pass the time while at work.

Hey you're a good learner aquadancer! You can edit what's inside the quote boxes as well...!
