Reply to a post "Quoting" it

KW Gary M · December 20, 2015, 09:51 AM

I'm a big computer dummy here so if I sound ignorant it's because I am.

Can someone tell me how I can reply to a post and quote that post or part of it in my answer? I have done it in other forums, gun and non gun, by clicking on "Reply with quote" but I don't see that option here. Any Dummy Instructions will be greatly appreciated.

I highlighted your text, copied it, then pasted it in the reply box. (That actual process will be different depending on your computer or device. On Wndows it can be Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V) I highlighted your text again then clicked the quote balloon above the reply box (4th from the right). There may be an easier way, I never looked - so someone may have a better answer.

Gary - you might want to read the sticky thread in this forum (Tech Support) titled "How do I quote from a post?". Post 4 in that thread is especially useful.
