Quote Question.......
What do you have to do to just {QUOTE} 1 sentence out of a post :hmm::hmm:of 100 or so words and not have all the rest of the post to show also???????:B

Just click on the "Quote" button down at the lower right, and the quote will appear in the message window, as you have probably already seen. The quote begins with the person's name/handle, followed by the post number the quote comes from, then the actual quote itself. To specify exactly which part of the quote you wish to reply to, just delete the words in the quote that you do not wish to address. Just make sure you don't alter any of the words you leave behind. Personally, I don't even correct typos/spelling errors. The reason is because other readers can click on the little blue/black arrow at the beginning of the quote (after you post it) to jump to the original post the quote came from (that's the purpose of the post number at the beginning of the quote), and if anybody were to discover that you were changing anybody's quote, that could be a big problem for you.

Now, deleting words from a post to isolate the part you wish to address is no problem. I do it all the time. You just have to make sure that what words you do include in the post appear exactly as they were in the original post.

One other suggestion: If you would like to experiment around with it, you can go to the "Test Posts" forum (located here (http://bibleforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=8)) and start your own test thread, type in whatever junk text you would like to experiment around with quoting (like "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs", for instance) and try various combinations to get the effect you're looking for.

And don't worry about botching anything up in there. The whole point of the "Test Posts" forum is for you to have a place where you can make mistakes and not get in trouble over it.

Hope this helps. :yes:

Picking on Luke's post :D to show I did quote the whole thing - then edited it down to pin point something within it. I usually left click the mouse, highlight and hit backspace. Remove any goofy gaps left if there are any.
