Hi,

When I want to reply to a couple of lines from someone's post, how do I highlight just that instead of replying to the whole text ?....Also how do I reply to multiple quotes from various members in just one of my posts ?

I hope this makes sense to you.... original.gif

I don't know if there's a shot-cut to do this, but what I do is after the reply screen pops up with the entire quote, I simply manually prune the section of text that I don't want to reply to, just like erasing something from a word document.

I'm not sure if that's what you were after, but I hope it helps grin2.gif

As for replying to multiple posters, on the bottom of each post is a "QUOTE" button. When you click it, it should turn red. Just click QUOTE on the posts you want to reply to, and then press "Add Reply". All the quoted posts should be there now. That's the easiest way, I think, though I just prefer to Reply to a post, but instead of clicking on "Submit", I just copy the text, then hit "Back" on my browser, and reply to the next one, pasting the previous information at the top of the page.

Again, hope this helps thumbsup.gif

Almost, but you need to leave the quote tag on the other end. It should look like this:

CODE
[quote name='Paranoid Android' date='Feb 25 2007, 02:15 PM' post='1557110']
I'm not sure if that's what you were after, but I hope it helps :D[/quote]


You were right with the first post though wink2.gif

You had it. original.gif

First you put the first quote tag on top of the text you want:

CODE
[quote name='Paranoid Android' date='Feb 25 2007, 02:15 PM' post='1557110']


Then right under that you can put the text from the member's post (in this cause PA's text):

CODE
I'm not sure if that's what you were after, but I hope it helps :D


Then close up the first quote tag with this:

CODE
[/quote]


End result for you should be:
