I'm writing this for all the "NEW" members who are not used to quoting formats.
If you want to quote a person by using the "(quote) button, you may then go into the quote and
delete the stuff not pertaining to your response. If John Doe writes 35 lines of commentary,
and you want to quote only part of that commentary, you do not have to quote the whole post.
This will keep posts shorter and to the point of your comments. The 'older members' have been
doing this for years, and it is quite easy.
If you copy a portion from a post, paste it into your new post, but you want to show it as a
quote, you can type {quote=John Doe} above or in front of, what you've pasted in your reply,
then type {/quote} after your pasted comment.
Example; {quote=John Doe} this pains me{/quote}
Change the {-bracket-} to [-bracket-] and the result is
ALSO you have a "Preview" button, just to the left of the "Submit" button.John Doe wrote: this pains me
USE IT to proof-read what you're writing. This will help you to check for
grammar and spelling errors.
I hope this helps many newer members in writing their comments.
