:) This may not be the right place for this post, but here goes. How do you pick out certain parts of a post, when not wanting to post the whole post in the quote. :usa:

:) Why did you waste my time with your post? I could tell you where to go/what you could do with your post but again it would be a waste of my time. :usa:

There is few ways.

First you use the quote button on original message that you are replying to then you simply delete the part you don't want.
Example:
Buckshot 1 wrote:This may not be the right place for this post, but here goes. How do you pick out certain parts of a post, when not wanting to post the whole post in the quote.


Or better yet is to select reply. Scroll down to message that want to quote from, highlight the the info you want quote and click on reply in that message and it get posted into the reply your creating.
Example:
Buckshot 1 wrote: Why did you waste my time with your post?


And then there is use of the quote button in the message your creating. To do this select quote then you select and copy from the message your quoting. Note here that is doesn't insert info about the one the originally wrote that part.
Example:
This is a quote text


Hopes this help a little.

Hey Don

Don't pay any attention to old Dummy. Rumor has it that he is about to topple over the edge anyway (Personally I think he wants to be booted off.

The sad part is that he can be nice and helpful but he chooses to do otherwise.
