Using the Quote button.

Could someone help me out with the quote button?

I usually go to the post I am quoting from, highlight and copy,
then go to my post and press the Quote button
then paste
then press the quote button again to close the quote.

When I am quoting, how do I get it to automatically say "xyz said:"

Could someone help me out with the quote button?

Never mind, I figured it out. I have to type "=persons name" in the first quote tag.

Is this the only way to do it?

You got it.

Here is one for a computer literate to ponder;

Received the following notification;

Hello rlortie,

You have received a new private message for your account on BesslerWheel.com and you have requested to be notified on this event. You can view your new message by clicking on the following link:

Remember that you can always choose not to be notified of new messages by changing the appropriate setting in your profile.

Thanks, BesslerWheel.com

Now this is all normal and I am used to seeing it. When I log on, I am notified that their is new mail in my box. Only this time there is no flashing red on 'Private messages' nor is there any new mail in my box????

Thats because Broli hacked in and stole your mail from Circle.

;)

[rlortie]

Interesting thought, but circle did not contact me via this forum!

True, he did contact me against broli's advice not to.

Not hearing back from him when he was informed that I require real surname, general location, age, and occupation must of scared him off.

So I assume I can speak freely of the event without any breach of confidentiality.

Can you show me the design he didn't send you?

[rlortie]

Yes! I will ship it to you via UPS air freight priority COD; I will pack it between two 12" x 12" x3/4" slate tile. I may have to add a couple of tile just for assurance so it does not get freight damaged.

What the heck! I will even throw in a couple of my vacuum packed post holes for you to sample. Being of negative value to that which surrounds them should lighten freight charges. LOL

Now that, that is said and done, I am still curious as to why I received notification of a letter that if exists it is not here.

Damn, I just received notification of another private letter and this is not a joke.

Ralph , I just sent you a PM to test your red flag.

Maybe the red light bulb is out. ;)

[Ed]

Sorry Ralph. LMAO! That was me. I had sent you a note and then I edited it (had to delete and resend for some reason) then I just deleted it altogether. This is why you got two notices and no actual PM's. So no conspiracy! Michael has done this to me several times. LOL.

[rlortie]

Thanks Ed

Probably like me, you first say what you think and then think about what you said.

I like the quote:
'It is human nature to think sensibly and act foolishly'

If it was not for a 'delete' button, I would be in deeper doo-doo more often than I am. :-)

Michael doe not delete what he sends me, I respond in kind! LOL

Ralph

[Ed]

It wasn't a criticism or anything like that. It was only a question about something and then it got answered, which is why I think I deleted it.

[rlortie]

Ed,

Next time don't hesitate hitting the 'Send' button! You may get a better descriptive answer plus additional opinionated input.

You never know when you might open a whole new train of thought! :-)
