| OT- Cat stew, anyone?
Just kidding, lol. I typed a rather lengthy reply to someone here on SR, and I think it was probably the best reply I've ever written, full of wisdom beyond my years, (lol, oh yea right Dallas), but as I was preparing to send it, Tigger the cat stepped on the mouse, and whoosh, it's gone. There goes my Pulitzer, easy come, easy go, lol. OK, I've only been here 9 months already and still dont know how to do this, so I'll ask directions, (must be a guy thing) how do you quote someone here in the grey box I see so often? Thanks for the help.

lol I hate it what that happens. The trick to that is - after the long thoughtful brilliant post that will solve the problems of everyone ... LOL (I do it alla time expecially here at work - I'll get a customer and have to leave it for a bit) before hitting 'post' ... select all (then) copy that way - you've saved it if you've gone over time. you have to write this on the front of the quote [QUOTE]

They explained it in the technical forums very recently, I tried it-the multiquote thing, didn't work. Maybe I just didn't follow the directions carefully enough. How I do it-there are 'beginning' and 'end' quote tags, you just basically cut and copy those tags around the words you want to quote, the 'beginning' tags have unique identifiers, the 'end' tags are identical in every post.

It's hard to write it to someone here, because it'll make the box. I remember the light bulb moment when I finally figured it out - I treally DO think it was right about 9 months as well! LOL!

Okay....where are the beginning and end quote tags I need to copy? I asked for help earlier, too. A couple of really nice people tried to help....I was too embarrassed to tell them I still didn't get it....bet they know now!

awwww... thanks fire! I also remember - I did it accidentally - it was like when I rode a bike the first time. My {{{{stone}}}} will be the first to tell you I'm technologically impaired. Can make a fire in a rainstorm on the side of a mountain in the wind but can't set the font I want to be default. LOL!
