Quote and Reply options ~ Why
When someone starts a post we often carry the conversation into slightly different areas, giving our experiences, support and suggestions. And we go into responding to something someone said further down in the conversation which may not apply at all to the original post. This is all good, it’s the way we converse. If someone wants to respond to a post further up in the conversation they could use the Quote or Reply options to draw attention to the post they are responding to. It really doesn’t matter if you use the Quote or Reply option, they accomplish the same thing, only in different ways.
Quote and Reply options ~ How to:
When you are replying to a post, on the bottom right of the original post, and any subsequent replies, you will see the two selections “+Quote” and “<- Reply”.
Both of these options copy the content of the post where you select the option.
The “Quote” option holds onto the content until you select the “Insert quotes” that will appear on the bottom of your screen after you click on “Quote”.
After you click on “Insert quotes” a pop screen will appear with the quoted text. And then when you select “Quote messages” on this screen the content from the post you are quoting will be pasted into your post area.
The “Reply” option will paste the content from the post you are replying to into your post area as soon as you click “Reply”.
To be continued on below because CD only let's me insert 3 screen displays on a post.
