occaisionally I see where somebody has asked multiple questions, and when someone else replies to there questions, they split up the quote, and answer the questions individually, within the quote.

How do you do that ?
How do you divide up a quote, to reply to it in sections?
(I hope my question is making sense).

when you hit the "quote" box down below(instead of reply), you'll see the words the previous person posted in your new box. then just type where u wanna type and delete whatever you want. Just make sure to leave the QUOTE tags and what not alone at the beginning and end. Hope that made sense?

ok thanks, I didnt think it was that easy.
I'll try it on another thread where a member asked me a bunch of questions.
I'll let you know if it works how I was hoping.

When you want to quote 1 person you just hit the "quote" box below their post.

When you want to quote ANOTHER post as well - scroll down when you're typing your reply. There are other posts underneath your text box. Copy the post that you want quoted and hit the "Quote" button at the top of your text box. Paste the text that you just copied into that box and wa-lah.
