This may seem like a stupid question but here goes: how do you quote only a portion of a post when replying? I had a look through the FAQ but came up dry. I understand the quote button, but it seems to quote the entire post. Lets say i want to quote only a single pertinent line of a post? What is the procedure?? Most likely it's ridiculously simple . . . .

Thanks in advance.

I wish more folks did. There's few things more irritating on a wireless connection than scrolling through pages of quoted text to see someone add "I agree." :barf: Tip of the hat to Benchmade Boy for asking a question that would cure that for a lot of folks!

You can also add text and add emphasis to a quote! No offense meant, Watchful! :D

I would also like to know.

I tried [reverse][/reverse] and [flip=v][/flip=v] as well as other BBcode versions and I have not been able to reproduce the mirror image.

What is up with that? :eek:

Inquiring minds want to know!

Well, as long as you promise not to abuse it....

Thanks!!:thumbup:

I found that in my search, but I thought that you were doing it in BBCode. I thought that to be too simple!:D

Over 10 years on here and only 1000 posts? I guess that I don't say much!!

It was driving me crazy that I could not find the answer.
 
I guess that depends on using a font or fonts that I don't have on my computer. I mostly see a bunch of squares, same as if I were looking at Japanese characters on the net.
 
It'll require a Unicode-savvy browser...and if I recall, you're using a browser written in ForTran or something. :D

It won't work on my phone browser, either.
 
What if you want to put a line through everything?
