I can get one quote, but I don't know how you guys do it with the lines to make it all look so neat and obvious which parts are quoted and which parts are your comments. Is there a page somewhere I missed on how to do this? Thanks Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

It's one of those ones which looks impressive, but isn't really. Just select the text you want to quote and hit the quote button beneath the posting box. Paste the text in between the two codes and there you go. You can also do it manually by typing in the codes before and after the text.

To do that, you do this: [QUOTE ] You can also do it manually by typing in the codes before and after the text. [/ QUOTE]Now, I've left a space between the Quote text [/ QUOTE]so you can see what I did. Take out the space and it becomes this: [QUOTE]You can also do it manually by typing in the codes before and after the text. On your draft it will look like it didn't work, but when you post it, you will see the difference.
