by george...i think i've got it...now if i can learn how to get different smilies posted...love those little guys

To get smilies, when you are going to submit a reply, click on "Go Advanced" in the reply box, that will take you to an advanced screen where you can see all the smilies.

Hope that helps!

And - how do you do multiple quotes???

Could someone please direct me in how to use that quote button properly..I'm obviously doing something wrong when trying to use it!

There's two ways to use it. Or at least there's two ways I use it One is to hit the quote button at the bottom corner of the post you wish to quote. This quotes the entire post. You CAN however delete parts of the post to just the part you wish to quote. I can only quote one poster per reply box this way though.

Two, and the one I usually use. Highlight the portion you wish to quote, then you can either click on the little "talk bubble" and a small box will come up and you paste your copied text. The other thing you can do, is paste the copied text in the reply box. Highlight it and then hit the talk bubble quote button. With this way, you can quote different posters. When in reply mode, you can also type in "Originally posted by poster" if you wish.

Hope this helps



ETA to get the double quote, I just highlight the already quoted text in addition to the text I wish to quote and hit the quote button up top. By the # symbol.

Well - so far so good - that seemed to be easy -
Thank you!

O.K - I've got the 1st method.

When I try the 2nd method - it says my message is not long enough?
And - how can I post several quotes from different posts without loosing my reply? How came there is not info on this? Am I the only one who can't figure this out?
I appreciate your help.

When you reply, if you scroll down it will show the last several (I don't know exactly how many, I think it depends on how long their replies are.) posts.

What I've done, is open a new window go to the same thread in the new window and click between the two, copying and pasting. For instance, I can go to the reply thing, have it up on my screen. Then open a new window (ctrl n) or new tab, depending on your browser. Then you can cruise the thread, highlight what you want to quote, Ctrl C to copy. Then click back to the window the reply dialog box is in and hit Ctrl V to paste your quote. Then, to get the quote box around the text, highlight the text then hit the quote button at the top of the dialog box. It's a yellow thing that looks like it has tiny writing on it. Under the color box.

Hope this helps
