dumb question from a newbie
on: December 03, 2014, 11:12:34 PM
This is probably a super dumb question, but how do you quote people in your replies? I can figure out how to quote the text but not how to quote the person and put the hyperlink to their comment in.

This had me fooled in the beginning to. Can't think why the Quote button is lurking up there instead of next to the other buttons below.

It helps weed out the idiots. It isn't always a huge success.

Don't worry about it chopincat. By the time we own umpteen thousand posts on this board we might no longer be considered idiots  ;D
