How to "quote" from another reply

Thanks, Mardee and happy holidays to you. I am in Bemidji for the holidays and the light display by the lake is fabulous.

Thanks Mardee I’ll give it a try again.

Mardee, thanks , I also need this helpful info.

Geez I never paid attention. Lol! Thanks

Comes down to personal preference, I prefer:

This will insert your words in there

Using italics does require some trouble shooting sometimes, since it uses an * at the beginning and end, a space or use of some symbols can cause the italics not to work.

Sorry to highjack you thread, but I wish poster would put their location in their profile.

We might answer questions differently about, for example, long flights to Europe, for someone from LA flying to Athens vs someone from Boston flying to Dublin, or dressing for the cold differently to someone from Florida vs someone from Montana.

Click on your name, then scroll down to "Edit Forum Settings". It has a field for Location.

Thanks, Mardee. I did not know this. You learn something new every day.

Mardee's Advice

That's better.

and like magic every single post so far in this thread met Lee's requirement regardless of the hijack

Now see?? I don't know how to do what Gunderson did although I know I've had people 'splain it to me before.

I just use the " plus the * before and after to highlight a copy and pasted quote.

I never knew how to do that. Thanks, Mardee!

Pam, You copy the URL (in this case of Mardee's original post), then select the 'globe' icon (3rd from left) for hyperlink, then paste the URL into the box.

Laurie Beth, oh, how fun! We're staying in Duluth for Christmas. Have a wonderful holiday!!!

Mona, I know you can do this!

Pat and Kim, glad it helps!

Paul, I'm sure you know this but you can also just type your words, highlight them and then click the italicized "I" to the left of the globe. :) For example, this sentence. :-) I think it's hard for some people to remember to insert the asterisk at both ends.

Lee, no worries, and I wholeheartedly agree!

Gundersen, ha ha!!!

Nigel, it is magic, lol!

Pam, that's easy. Just type the name you want to call the link - for example, Pam's Trip Research Advice - then highlight the words, click on the globe and insert the link you want into the pop-up. I like inserting links this way because some URLs can be extraordinarily long!

Mary and Carroll, you're welcome!

Thanks for the explanation, I never knew how to do that.

Stuart and Mardee - thank you so much! I'll try it when there is less confusion around here!

Andrea, glad it was useful!

And Pam, I don't blame you - I'm fried this holiday season! I need a relaxing vacation now!

Thank you!

Thank you.
