Uncle Martin Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I hope you are all of the opinion that the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked because this one will appear simple to the point of stupidity. Could someone please tell me how to insert a quote into a reply? My posts may not always be intelligent, but I would like to know how to at least create the illusion. I'm a virtually computer illiterate old man, so please keep it simple and step by step. Six months ago I thought a mouse was something you caught in a trap.

I think they are added by the quote parsing of the system. Coldfusion, go figure... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
