Slobodan. In the thread view there is a quote button at the far top right. In the reply text box view there is a quote button above the smily guy with sun glasses. In the Topic Summary there is an Insert Quote to the right of Posted by:
All of these place a long string of "computer speak." above and below the actual post...
Let me illustrate the three different uses of "quote":
#1 "In the thread view there is a quote button at the far top right"Clicking that button simply quotes the whole text. Then you can delete unnecessary strings, as I did above.
#2 "In the reply text box view there is a quote button above the smily guy with sun glasses"I use that one when I am quoting something else, other than a forum member's post, e.g., a quote from a newspaper, or a favorite motto (this one is from a very smart guy)
When everybody thinks the same... nobody thinks.
#3 "In the Topic Summary there is an Insert Quote to the right of Posted by"This one is useful if you want to quote somebody else's sentence from the same thread, for instance:
Beautiful....why didn't I think of that?!?! :-)
The "computer speak" you talk about is only visible while you are composing a reply. To see the final version before posting, you click on the "preview" button.
