How do you folks repeat what someone said? When I reply to a post, I'd like to quote what they're saying, and I tried highlighting the paragraph, and it doesn't work.
Also, several times I've typed a small g surrounded by the arrow brackets (for "grin"), and it doesn't type in. It's just blank. So I tried clicking on the Happy Face icon, and it doesn't type, either.
Could someone clue me in here? Thanks! Carol

hi carol.
i just copy and paste what i want to quote. mrs. peck, a member here, uses a different method, i don't know how he does it because i've never asked him.

as far as the icons go, just click on them and you'll see a bracketed symbol and then when your message is posted the smilie guy will appear.
and don't forget to use the 'more smilies'..it is written in red next to the regular smilies..click that and there is a virtual cornucopia of smilies to choose from. (another member, headache, told me about that. )

Its really quite easy. When you click on the reply button, and go to the reply "window" where you type in your message, you will see 3 boxes at the bottom.

Check off the one that says, "Quote Original Message". I always click off the one that says "Notify me by email when somebody replies to this message", as it allows me to know when someone responds to my message or the topic I am interested in.
