Sorry for the stupid question…When replying to previous posts, how do you get the quote and blue colored text? ???

By clicking on the quote button in the post, see image, click to expand.

When quoting care should be taken not to quote the whole post, only the relevant part/s .

And then the rest of the text. Pay attention where the quoted text goes and where the final tag goes. Use “Preview” before posting.

At the top of this forum is a much neglected “HELP” button>>

Expanding the blue text links will give you answers to most of the available options on the forum along with the BBCodes and what they will do. >>

When you click on the quote button actually in the post you want to quote, it should be pasted into the Quick Reply window at the bottom of the page (see image).

So you shouldn’t have to copy anything it is automatically inserted into the text window at the cursor position.

Do you see the Quick Reply window at the bottom of the page ?
