I tried using the "Quote' function on this forum, for the first time, & encountering "problems:
In the post I wish to acquire a "quote", weather I hi-lite the words I wish to quote, or not, the entire past shows up in the "Quote Message" Window.
So, in the Quote Message window, I "Cut" all but the words that I wish to quote, but leave the "Quote Link" intact.
When I ad my comment/s, & click "Send Reply", the "Quote" does not appear in red, nor does it designate a quote with the Prefix, "Name" Wrote:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, & the FAQ,s on Posting make no mention of using the Quote function.

Hi Leigh,
Perhaps I can help. The only way to trim down a quoted post is in the reply window itself. Selecting the portion of the post prior to hitting quote isn't recognised by the forum software and therefore doesn't have any effect. Here's what you need to do:
1. Hit quote on the thread you'd like to quote.
2. A reply window will appear, pre-filled with the full post.
3. Delete any quoted sections you do not want, but leave the opening and closing "quote" tags, which are enclosed by square brackets intact.
Hope that helps.
