Need help
 

Being new to this, I was wondering how people are getting the boxes in there messages as a reference to someone elses post.

Can someone help me with this??

Thanks, and for future reference to questions on how to do something, where would that normally be found, or for that matter posted in??

That's called Quoting. If you look at the post, to the bottom right hand corner theres a box with "quote" in it. Just click that, and you'll be quoting that text. Also if you want to quote one line, you can edit it. You can also use [ quote] ... [/quote ] ( I put a space in there so it won't show properly.

Check out Tilted Newbies for lots of helpful information/people :)

Thank you so much Averett!!

I will do this!!

Feel free to pm a Mod as well........but the:
"Ask and Ye shall recieve" sticky in newbies is the place for quick answers

{quote}Pity the Fool{/quote}
{quote="Mr T"}Pity the Fool{/quote}
use square brackets instead of the squigly ones to make it work.

(I just realized -- the younger members probably won't recognize Mr T, nor his Pity the Fool...)

Yeah, but newbies aren't necessarily young, so that's OK. :lol:

And kollege_gal2000, the quickest way to see "how'd they do that?" is to hit the Quote button on their text; that way, you can see all the codes that they used.

I know exactly who Mr. T is/was and I am only 22. :)

Ditto on all accounts. I'm still in the age range who watched his cartoon...
