Quoting

[WillV]

Hey all! Fairly new here and haven't figured this part out yet... How do I do the yellowish quote boxes in one of my posts?? Can someone explain or give a link to a FAQ feed?? I couldn't find one.. A moderator or administrator can delete this thread when it is resolved since it seems like a dumb question :/

Not a dumb question at all. There's a set of small icons in the top right corner of each post. The right hand one (that looks like a quote mark) will create a quote box containing the text of the post you're quoting. Hope that makes sense.

Back in the day, icons and buttons used actual words in them. It was easy, simple, and everyone understood it. Somewhere along the line, someone (and by someone, I'm pretty sure it was Apple) decided that tiny, cryptic buttons with symbols that usually don't make sense and can easily be confused with other tiny cryptic buttons were better than buttons and icons with actual words.
And here we are.

LOL I love this whole statement. Tech is supposed to make everything easier but it either breaks or confuses... Thanks for the help guys
