I'm embarrassed to even ask...


I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to quote anoter post. I've looked in the faq, and I can't seem to find anything...I'm not normally this brain-dead, but can someone help me on this one? Try to spare my feelings at least a little...

Yes, but if you want to quote multiple quotes in the same thread or if you want a slightly easier way to do it heres how. Copy and paste the text you want to quote in the text field and simply surround the text with [ QUOTE] [ /QUOTE] *** note i put spaces in so that it doesnt quote what i just put here. Hope this helps.

Posts on here dont get deleted, they just get bumped down when someone else posts another thread. Rest assured no-one will delete your post unless you put something bad on it.
