Using Quote Function

[cluckdaddy76]

Can someone please walk me through on how to use the quote function when replying to threads in a particular thread? I have not been successful and am at the point where I am a bit more active and would like to learn this function.

 

Thanks,

Jason,
It's very easy. If you want to quote an entire post, just click the Quote at the bottom of their post, and it will auto fill that in at the reply area at the bottom in a block.
You just type your response underneath that.

If you want to just quote a certain section of someone's post (or even do multiple quotes from their post, or even from different people in a thread, just highlight the area you want to quote using the mouse or select feature on your cell.
That will pop up a small block saying 'Quote Selection'. Hit that, and that section is added below to your post.
Then hit enter for a line break between them (so you can come back and enter your reply) and go up the thread and do the same for other parts you want to quote. Highlight/select the text,hit quote that pops up. And so on...

See? Just like this. I only highlighted a part of your post, and hit quote. Now let's do one from another post...

Gamechanger for me was discovering the dark background setting.
