Hi,

I have a posting question that I'm hoping someone can answer. How do you quote someone and get the " Originally posted by: " part in the quote?

The only way I know how to quote is to hit the quote button and paste in the text. This doesn't give the attribution part.

Can anyone help me out?

Oh, the button is on the thread itself, not on the 'Reply' screen. That's why I couldn't find it!

Thanks, Sam!!

All I do is hit the Quote button at the bottom of the post. I don't have to paste any text in. It is already in there. But sometimes I'll delete extra text that I'm not necessarily replying to. You may be trying to use the tags at the top of the page.

For example, when I hit quote it looks like it did at the top of this post. If I am only replying to part of it I'll just take out the part I don't want to include like this:
