How Do You Partial Quote?

Featured Replies

I was wondering how to do a partial quote instead of doing a whole quote where it shows the whole paragraph someone has written? I see other forum members doing this but when I try to copy only the part I want, it doesn't come out right after I post it. :-? I hope this makes sense and sorry ahead of time if I confused everyone. ;D Thank you as always.

Blaine,

You can quote the person, and then delete the text you don't want to post.  Just be sure and don't delete the brackets --> [ ]

Now I think I got it. Thanks Troutfisher!! ;)

Better yet, there is a little icon above the posting box that is a sheet of paper with a blue arrow pointing to the right.  It is just right of middle on the top row.  Hit it, and copy what you want to quote, then paste it between the brackets that show up.

You can quote from other sites using this too.
