I like carrying on a conversation with people. To do that, I prefer to quote each segment of their post and reply beneath it. Makes things easier to follow.

I am ignorant of how to do that without having to quote their entire post, copy and paste their name before each segment, and then type out the [ / quote ] after the last word of the segment.

Is there a faster way?

Otherwise, I might have to start blowing my whole wad under their entire post. That will lead to additional confusion and misunderstandings.

I do it the way you describe, as I don't know any other.

Quote and copy and past.

You don't need the long full name. Just put the ( quote ) and ( / quote ) around it. Use the correct brackets around quote though, I used parenthesis here so they would show up.

Thanks for the responses.



Art,

I think you need to figure out a way to make it faster. In the old days when I used to post on forums, it never seemed so burdensome. Is it possible that I used to just start typing in the middle of someone else's larger post and it magically showed my text differentiated from theirs?

Well I just do basic tweaking with this board. What you are describing sounds intensive.

Here is a suggestion: Copy (/quote) - [with correct brackets] into clipboard. Paste it into the section of text you want to begin quoting. Then delete the / character. Then at the end of the section paste it again to close the quoted section.

Fairly simple.

Nope. I think I will just do it the normal way everyone else does.

I think I just wish it was easy like usenet. You probably can't make those sort of changes to a message board.
