Just technical question.

Off-topic

At times I wish to quote just small section of sombodys therad and end up having full steatement no metter how I try to mark only what is relevent . HOW NOT TO WASTE THE SPACE AND NOT TO CREATE UNNECESSARY TRAFFICK ?
I will appreciate advice.Thanks. Uniwitold. :thinking:

What I do is highlight the part I want to quote, then press control-c to copy it. Then do a “Post Reply”, hit the Quote button, and then control-v to paste into the quote space. Works pretty well but you have to add your own bold markers if you want bold. Doesn’t work too well if the poster put in hard carriage returns.

I just click on the “quote” button, then delete whatever I don’t want from the original. Easy!

So how DO you make it bold. It I do ‘control’ B it doesn’t seem to work, any other ways to make the quote bold?

Well there you go! Nevermind, obviously the computer is reading my mind (again! :stuck_out_tongue: ) and just doing if for me!

The QUOTE button puts the bold codes in for you in the quote part, but you can put bold text in below, too.

You can do it two ways: manually, by putting [B] before the text you want bold and [/B] after; or by clicking on the [B] button in the vB Code section above the box where you enter your reply text.

It’s nice of you to ask questions about the user interface - it makes me feel useful since I can’t offer much in the way of uni advice… yet! :wink:
