how do you get the lines to appear around, make smaller print, and get the quote of the pertinent part of the thread that you want to respond to as i see so often in the forum??

The protocol is . . .

1. highlight the text you want to quote, and copy.
2. click on "Reply to Topic," instead of using Quick Reply.
3. click on the next to the last button on the right, which should show "Insert Quote."
4. put your cursor between (quote) and (/quote). . . (I can't use the brackets because then it acts like a quote in this reply).
5. paste
6. cursor down to the next line and make your comment.

As Russ stated, click on the "Reply with Quote" icon that is above the text you want to quote. Go ahead and give it a try.

You can also used the reply at the very top of the thread.
That will allow you to
add a line -


<hr noshade size="1">
Insert a URL



www.google.com
add a numbered list, insert a quote etc, use bullets and smilies. change font size alignment etc. It also has pop up dialog boxes to help you out with this. When you reply to a thread using the button at the very top or very bottom (not the one above each post) you will be able to change the format mode from basic to Prompt.... Go to the Testing area and play around.
