Quoting
« on: May 16, 2011, 20:26:10 »
Alright, another village idiot question: how do you create a partial quote of another posters contribution? I can manage to press the 'quote' button and quote the lot, but not just a relevant extract...I've tried highlighting a sentence, or whatever, and then pressing 'quote' but no luck, sod it. :shrug:  :angry-tappingfoot:

I know that the answer is going to make me feel even stupider - but I've got to know!

 :doh:
