Can someone explain how you take someone elses post and then repost it on your post. I see it all the time and it is always highlighted in blue. I can copy and paste but not sure how to do the blue highlighted block. Cut me a break I am old and computers and all this fancy stuff is my downfall--LOL.

When you hit "Reply" scroll down to "Topic Summary". when you find what you want to "repost" you'll see an "Insert Quote"  dialogue to the right, just click that and that post will be included. If you click it before you type it'll be at the top of your post. If you click it after your typing it'll be below your post. Hope this helps.  Edit - looks like Randy and I were typing at the same time.

When you use this feature, make sure you scroll down in the text box and type your reply after the last ([/quote]) otherwise your reply ends up in the blue box as well :alan2cents:
