blackstrap Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I can use the quote button but I always get the entire post. How do I just pull out a piece of a post?This is so I can quote out of context.
HairBear Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I can ... quote ... the entire post. ... I just pull out a piece ... so I can quote out of context. I just use the quote button and delete what I don't want. If there's another way then I'm sure someone who is more experienced will let us both know.

Calm Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Another way if you don't care about identifying the writer, just copy and paste the text that you want to quote into your reply, highlight it and then hit the quote button (the little talk bubble on the second line above, 7th over from the right.
