We use a quote when we want to refer to what someone has already mentioned or after finding something that was said out there on the www.

There are a few ways we can do it.

Method 1/ After reading what has been said in a post:-

We might not want all of the post, so we can modify it.

Left click and hold at the beginning of the words you do not require and pass the cursor over them until all you wish to remove is highlighted in blue, they will then be removed, when you press the backspace key..

Below is the same post altered:-

If you look at your post there is an end quote visible so you did something wrong. I spend a lot of time fixing quotes that people make mistakes wirh so hurry up and learn to do it then you can teach our 2 worse members how to do it

Just cracked it myself Di... didn't realise you had to press the multiple quote button as well as the quote one.

Used the three examples above to show it can be done but had to remove the superfluous [/quote] from your post first otherwise it ends up like below as the system ends the quote after the first [/quote] instruction. Good luck!

I also found you need to put all your quotes in the post first before you start typing. If you go back to add more you lose what you have already typed - or maybe that's just me.
