How does one reply with quote? Do you have to enter a code like-> [img/] or is there a link that I'm overlooking? Thank you for any help on this. I'm an old fogey I guess..lol

It doesn't work as well in this forum software as some others e.g. PHPBB so you can copy and paste the quote the wrap it in [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags

I beg to differ -- it works EXACTLY that way. If you're using the quick reply box at the bottom of a thread, you have to type your own codes. If you hit "Reply to Topic" to get the full editing box, you can use the formatting buttons.

By the way, just make sure there are no spaces inside the [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags. They only have spaces here for demonstration purposes

Sorry KirkS.
On other forums there is a reply with quote button and also multi-quote replies. That is much easier IMO.

You're right Anthony -- I misread your original posts; it was pre-coffee and I thought you said the quote tags did not work.

No probs.
I'm more than happy to overlook the shortcomings of the software and expend a bit more effort myself as the environment is probably the best of any internet forum.
