It was easier (for me, using AOL) before the new format. So, I have had to make changes. What I did HERE, was to click the quote button, then highlight and delete the parts of your post before and after the line I wanted to quote. Just make sure you
leave the quote tag at the end. This method produces the "Originally posted by..." intro.
When I want to address several statements in one post, I have to delete everything before your name (including the beginning quote tag,) and the number string (and ] symbol) after it....
AND the ending quote tag.
Then I usually add the word (said) after your name, hit the return button to push the text down, then highlight and delete what I don't want, while separating those lines that I DO want to "attack."
Then, I go back to the first line I want to discuss, highlight it and click the quote icon on the line just above the text box. It's the one that looks like a page of a letter. That encloses the highlighted text in quotes.
Then I leave a space after it, and type my rant.
Then I move down to the next line or paragraph of text I want to attack, and do the same thing. Just keep moving the text down to allow room for what you want to say by positioning the cursor and using the enter key.
Just don't forget to delete the END QUOTE TAG from the original post.
It is much easier using I.E. but I still prefer my AOL.
It is also much easier if you DON'T try doing this while sitting IN THE DARK!
