Teaching Me Computer Basics

BUMP

[Quietfire]

wow!

I cant believe it. I think I've stumped you guys. Usually by now I would have received one or two suggestions.

*I cut and pasted it to here on page 2 so you dont have to scroll down all of Page 1*


Now that I have the cut and paste thing down, I would like to try more options.

If i wish to respond to say, several different posts, at once. can i do that?

we can use this thread to teach and test,

I opened this topic,

Lil Red responded
Cmom responded
aznsonny responded
iacobus responded

all follow so far?

Now....I want to respond to each and all of you in one shot.

Ive seen it done here but cant figure out how its achieved.
If I hit the 'quote' button on, lets say Lil Reds, response to me then I can only respond to her post. I want to be able to respond to all, of the above, in one shot.

Get it?
I guess this is lesson 2.

no, you didn't stump me, i'm just trying to figure out a way to explain it (i'm very bad at explanations.)

[Quietfire]

Copy the text you want to quote and paste it to the compose box, then on either side of it put [QUOTE*] text goes here [/QUOTE*] minus the stars. Put your reply, then do the same for the next section you want to reply to.

Make sense or confusing?

[Lil Red]

okay, hit the "reply" button.

then hit the "quote" button.

Copy and paste what you want.

Then hit the "quote" button again.

Hit the return key a coupla times.

Then repeat for however many times you want to quote someone.

I just checked it and its missing that grey highlight that distinguishes it from my own text. So Im not sure if I did it right.
