Let's say you just want to quote a small part of another posters comments.
How do you do this?
Thankx
It sounds like you know how to quote the whole thing -- when you do so, just delete the parts that you don't want to quote.

like this?
What do you do if you want to quote something from a page or two (or 50) before?
That's it!
Every post has a "quote" button on it -- just go to the post you want and hit the quote button. Doesn't matter where it is, it will appear as the latest response (whatever part you choose to appear, that is.)
Hey, Boss, if i type:
The New York Times wrote:All commies eat poop sammiches and howl at the moon.
i will get a quote window which lists The New York Times as the author. I've turned off BB code in this post so that i can show you how it looks, but i will post that again with the code turned on to show you what i mean. Don't worry, BBcode is turned on by default, so you don't have to worry about it.
And here's what that looks like with the code turned
on:

Ohmygosh! I had no idea one could do this (create a misquote for someone). But that could happen to any of us, couldn't it? (he stammered).
Yes, however, you could misquote me, but you couldn't alter the text of the post from which you misquoted me, so your attempt at a trick would be a failure and the cause completely transparent. So you needn't nurse any worries about being victimized by this.
But isn't that what you did with that spurious NY Time quote? I guess I'm confused...
Sorry Setanta....I couldn't resist.....
We know you ride a grey horse.
:wink:
Bella provides a nice example.

She does squirrely things with Setanta's post, but his ACTUAL post is unaffected, found here:

Isn't that from Tombstone? :wink:
I am feeling very squirrly today.
Revelations, dah-ling, Chapter Six, verse Eight:
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
That's the King James Version--there are, literally dozens of versions of every verse of scripture.

wimmins, that's funny,
I first fell in lust (later on love) w/ my husband because of the way he pronounced "light bulb"
That would be "laht buub"

One of the first, and for a long time, longest running and busy threads was Craven's Women Are Evil thread. When it died, he started a new one. In the course of one of those threads, the "oldtimers" here got in the habit of writing "wimmins" and "mins" in the on-going, silly war of the sexes. Some of us still use the terms . . .
