Need help

[kollege_gal2000]

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.

(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.

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.

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