I this good? The problem was, I must have always read the threads while not signed in, and the little 'quote' button a the top of the posts are are not there unless you're signed in - there's only the 'reply' button at the end of the whole thread. So I had no idea what you were talking about. Anyway...Greylorn Ell wrote:Wyman,Wyman wrote:GreylornGreylorn wrote: Wyman,
For the benefit of those who do not need to kill time by following every conversation on a complex thread (as dumb as trying to participate in every conversation at a large dinner party), why not observe the courtesy of referencing whom you are responding to? It just takes a quick copy and paste of their {quote=xxx}, then, later, a {/quote} to close their part of the conversation.
I, like Henry, have not figured out how to do this. Although Henry may be just trying to be different.
I'd killed about two hours developing an explanation of how to use the {quote} function, whereupon Bubba's cousin, Bobo, threw the wrong switch at the local power plant, killing everything I wrote. So I'll try to simplify it, using { } instead of [ ] to not confuse the software that interprets this stuff.
This post from you began with: {quote="Wyman"}{quote}
Note the format of the primary quote. It is followed by an "=" sign, then a name enclosed in parentheses. Had you followed this format and written your secondary quote as {quote="Greylorn"}, it would have been perfectly clear to whom you were responding.
You do not need to type out this stuff. Paste the {quote="whatever"} from the original text that you are quoting.
Also note that every {quote=...} must be followed by a corresponding, paired {/quote}. Information between these quotes can (or must) be nested between the larger quotes that comprise their context.
Experiment a bit, using the "Preview" function, and let me know if I need to clarify this. I appreciate your willingness to query.

I am comfortable enough in my skin to ask even silly questions (though not too many, I hope) and to put out there ideas for discussion and my own views when I have them. To that point, I appreciate Henry in this thread putting his neck out by taking a position and defending it. It is much easier to criticize and pick apart a point of view than to defend one.Greylorn Ell wrote:I appreciate your willingness to query.
