okay, i just read my directions

and the obvious missing piece is:
to get multiple pieces of the quote in, you have to edit each one separately. i.e. hit quote, then edit out the parts you don''t want, then respond. if you want another part of the quote after that, you have to hit ''quote'' again and follow the same process. so, to get multiple quotes, you basically have to ''quote'' then edit out, then respond then hit quote again and repeat the process.

Let me see if this works.....

clear as mud?

Muahhahahahaaaaaaa

Thanks belle!

you are a prodigy!

are you ready to try quotes by different people?

it has it''s uses but i think people assume you are only quoting one person and they don''t realize you are addressing multiple people with just one post. so, it''s usually not worth the effort.

editing quotes is priceless though! good job!

Hey, I am a big grammar offender; I noticed all my mistakes in the WWT to Kimi, eek. I hope she forgives me. Did I do it right?

Look it square in the eye and say, "My name is risingsun, I have been waiting twenty years for you, prepare to die". Then stab it with a steak knife.

Unless, you have a sword on hand....

I go away for a few days (for work! Boo! Foul! Rubbish! Boo!!!!) and everyone has seen the movie!!

Ellen, it's not surprising you weren't overwhelmed the first time you saw it - I first saw it in high school at a friend's insistence and thought 'what the hell was the big whoop about that?' About 30 viewings later though, I could quote you the whole movie, verbatim. It's an appreciation born out of repetition, not something that totally blows you out of the water the first time you see it, like Shawshank Redemption does. And as I recall, that movie wasn't a big splash at first but it too has a cult like following of devotees now!!!

As for quoting people on PS in posts, I have only been able to quote a single person. I can break up their post to quote several parts, but I have never been able to figure out how to quote multiple people in one post.

I am SO glad you explained this in depth. lol! I was watching it and thinking, "I get funny, I LIKE funny. WHY do I not find this as funny as they did??

My son was watching it with me, and looked over at one point and said, Fred Savage is the best part". I had to agree....

Like I said though, I WAS really tired, I''m sure that didn''t help. I''ll watch it again.

you have to open up multiple windows and reply to the second person you are quoting, copy/cut/and past back to your first window, at least that's how i do it...for example: (but there might be an easier way...i have no idea)

The ROUS has been terminated--with extreme prejudice

I believe I saw it slinking back to the Fire Swamp

mrss, thanks for splaining the multiples. I''ll be honest, that sounds like an awaful lot of work for a post. (what I did here was enough!). I think it would have to be an awful important post to go to that much trouble..... Then again, maybe I''m just lazy.

Congrats Belle!!!!

 

[FireGoddess]

MrsS, is that a Mac specific thing? I''m not sure how to even do that on my PC! But it could be my computer skills (ie. the lack thereof)!!

I wonder too because I had to drag the text box and drop instead of copy and paste.

Congratulations Belle! I havent read all the pages of this post yet (but I will). Why?? Because I want to know what you''re going to get for your 10,000 post gift thats why.

They still do that dont they? LOL I''m at about 700 posts for an over 5 yr. member so cant say I''m an overachiever. LOL LOL

Congratulations again & thank you for always being on the boards with some great advice & personal thoughts.
