Dad3353 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1477947020' post='3165500'] How do you quote just sections... [/quote] One quotes the entire post, and edits (removes...) the bits of quote that are unwanted. And, yes, I agree with you. Quote
Maude Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1477947378' post='3165505'] Ones entire bits are unwanted. [/quote] Like this? Quote

Happy Jack Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 OK, too easy. Time to raise the bar. How do you quote the bits you wish they'd said, rather than the tosh they actually wrote? Quote

thebrig Posted November 1, 2016 Author Posted November 1, 2016 It worked! I've tried this in the past thinking that it is the obvious thing to do, but I'm sure it never worked before. Quote

TimR Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Don't forget to add ellipsis if [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1477947020' post='3165500'] ... you quote just sections of a post ... [/quote] Otherwise you could unintentionally misrepresent the OP. Quote
Grangur Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1477990004' post='3165692'] Don't forget to add ellipsis if Otherwise you could unintentionally misrepresent the OP.

[/quote]at one time you had to use the backspace button to remove unwanted text, just highlighting it and deleting didn't work for some reason Quote

Maybe I'm not that stupid then! Quote
