I am having a problem with the \'quote\' function. Am I doing something wrong? I highlight the section or line I want & then click on the \'quote\' button. It then goes to the reply page but has selected the entire post, not just the highlighted piece.

Advice anyone?

--- Quote ---I highlighted this line, then pushed the quote button above this Post (middle row, 2nd button from the right)
--- End quote ---


At the bottom I hit the \"Preview\" Button and see how it looks before I Post it. Let me know if this helps or hurts...

Billy,

I highlighted \'let me know if this helps or hurts\' from your post & hit the quote button. Below is the result. It has inserted all your post not just the bit I wanted. I have also tried using \'reply\' then selecting \'insert quote\' from the \'topic summary\' as per simplemachines site. Any idea of what is wrong? It did work on a previous post but not now. Is it something to do with your Admin function vs my user?

Keith,

I will login with my secret user ID \"Bushrod\" the Newbie member and do more testing. Thanks for working on this with me.

I copied & pasted the above from your Post. Then I highlighted it and hit the \"Insert Quote\" Button.

Keith,

Here\'s what I discovered.  I first highlighted the above line from your recent post.  I then clicked on the reply button.  Next I pasted the above line into this new post.  I highlighted it and then clicked on the next to last icon above, which is the \"insert quote\" icon.  That subsequently makes the above line a \"quote\".  Phew!   :P  Convoluted, yes, but this is the only way I know to make it work.  If anyone has another way, by all means share your insight with Keith and me.  Hope this helps.

Dazed and confused Jack
