Thanks a lot Papabear!!!!!! That one gave me the most troubleaua you definitely have to do it in the exact order as you typed. My problem is a tend to add something to the reply(that's what went wrong the first two times) , of course that negates the highlighting. So I need to just do the...

Third attempt the charm, maybe?

I think I should've typed the reply first, let's try it that way

This is a scheduled test of the color highlighting system, had this been an actual highlighting emergency instructions would have followed the test in this post. This is only a test.

Well it did wrap the segment in quotes and underline it as advertised. Not quite as good as the highlighting but it will help focus on content intended should the need arise in a reply.

Thanks for the help it is appreciated. I found when heading for the camera icon on this wacky windows 8 format to try your advice that there are two separate camera icons. Why? Who knows? There is one purple and one green, I've been using the large green icon which seems to be a mirror. This...

I'm glad this test forum is here to work out all of my greater than normal online inadequacies, and I thank everyone for helping out an inexperienced new member. Now If only I could figure out how to take a picture with the camera feature on my PC I would replace the profile picture. Right now I...

Thanks! When you are replying with quotes and only sowing part of the quote relevant to your reply, how are you accomplishing that? Do you delete the unwanted text in the reply box before posing or highlighting what you wish to cut before replying? Also I've noticed highlighted sentences within...

Thank you very much! I attempted to figure that out more than once. I also tried to hit the thanks button at the bottom of you posting in appreciation but only got an error message. Is that feature to show gratitude for helpful advice as was my intent?

I'm afraid I have to demote myself back to a 6 year old level for internet capabilities. It seems I put the intended picture for my avatar in my profile picture(I suppose you've guessed I'm not a rocket scientist). The best part is it only took me about 15 posts to catch on LOL! Tomorrow I will...

Wait a minute I know I've read posts in threads from both papabear and swiss. I remember both your screen names and avatars searching old threads for answers more than once. And if you guys have learned something from me on how to use this forum. Then that can only mean, uh oh, maybe my...

Well, I think I figured it out after all!!! I guess I have now caught up to the online skills of a 7 year old! It seems there is a multi-quote box on the far right corner, you check off all the ones you want to reply too then select reply with quotes and voila the trick she is done.:carnac:

Thank you, I was hoping that was it's intended use. I did try to phil2968's suggestion of replying to multiple quotes; however every time I added another reply with quote it only defaulted to the last reply clicked only. I'm sorry, I failed my SS homework assignment(this post was an attempt to...

Thanks a lot! I didn't know you could do that. Would I just keep clicking "reply with quotes" and would they all appear in the quick reply box at the bottom? I really have never used any form of message board, forum or chat room since 1996. Always used internet like a research library and place...

Thanks! after some embarrassment and laughs when I realized that other members would see my test posting :oops: it may have answered my question before I tried a post. Maybe this means mechanical issue testing posts and not new goobers trying to figure out how to use the forum testing forum. I...

Well on my second reply to a person (other than myself) I learned another valued lesson, reply with quote feature is really useful when addressing a specific reply." Number nine" to the 15th power? Is there an m1009 spotting contest or have the become endangered???:confused:

Well I am glad someone enjoys my slightly warped sense of humor. I though it was just a test format for those new to the site and figured I'd just try responding to some of my own posts. Didn't know anyone else would even see it LOL!!

Not so sure I have the hang of editing though. I am so glad this forum exists, this is the most I have ever typed on any social forum and have no clue what I'm doing.

Just discovered there is a reply on the box posting. Now I'm confident I have acquired the online skills of a three year old.

Now I will attempt to reply to a posted thread, hopefully without creating a parallel universe or some other catastrophic error.
