Question re board function

[Twinmom]

I've got a silly little question regarding quotes that I can't seem to answer myself. Hope you all can help!

How are you all getting the name of the person you are quoting at the top of your quote? All I seem to be able to do is quote the text, but can't credit the person unless I type it in manually. It seems that there is something I'm missing, because all the "credited quotes" seem to have the same setup.

Thanks for helping a newbie! Oh, and I just figured out that I'm supposed to sign my reps...so if you've gotten an anonymous "happy rep," it may have been from me! :o (I've not passed out any neg rep, though, so don't flame me for those! ;))

There are two quote options, the one with the feather has the name of the op. hth

I've got an even more basic question than Jennifer -- how do you quote someone in a reply to begin with? I haven't played around enough to figure it out. I did a search on quotes hoping someone else posted the same question but I didn't find anything.

Look at the bottom right hand side of each post box. There are little icons to click on. If you click on the feather quote option, the entire post with the poster's name appears at the top of your reply. The one with the " symbol will allow you choose what parts of the post you want. Does that help?

Thank you, Tammy! I was looking in my reply box for options. Now I see the quote option at the bottom of each person's reply. I'll try it out next time I want to quote someone.

Thanks, Tammy! I can't seem to find the option with the feather, however. Can you be more specific on how to get there? The only thing I see on my screen is the little quote box that looks like something from a comic book.

Ahhh...just figure it out for myself! I've never tried to quote from the quick reply screen, just the regular reply screen. I see the feather now on the individual post and will do it there instead!

Thanks!
