I would like it if someone (anybody) could tell me how to pick out just one line, for example, from a quote, without having to copy over the entire text, in order to comment on it? Thank you v. much.

Just quote as normal, and delete what you don't want making sure you leave in the Bracket things that are there.

[Vivienne]

Thanx, treacle..! You're a STAR!

[Ballbag]

Thanks Zoot, but I'm still a little confused, how do you, as you say, "delete" stuff.

[Zoot]

Thanks Zoot,"delete" .

Well you have two options for this Mr Balls, you can either select the text by holding down the mouse button and dragging across the text you'd wish to delete, then press the backspace key..

Or you can open up your computer box, make sure the computer is turned on, then pour a glass of water into it. This is technically callled 'flushing the system'. It will pretty much delete anything and everything.

Anything else?


(I zoot, take no responsibility for anyone stupid enough to take any advice, serious and humourous, from me. Thank you.)

[Ballbag]

Mega, cheers..... I'll give it a go. You're a STAR.

[Vivienne]

great stuff, zoots Did you know I once had a keyboard filled with cheese bits? The IT guy commented on it when he came across to see me.

[Vivienne]

I can just about do it now, zoots! thanx again! I've done it in the ramble section!

Did some of the keys start suddenly not working?

[Vivienne]

Er... yes!! I couldn't understand why until we (me & IT Man - he was a bit cross with me) discovered yoghurt, cheese, bits of biscuit, etc.

Was the original question in this thread serious? My god.

Listen, Topher! Get this, OK!! Some of us (i.e. your's truly) are not in possession of an analytical, statistical type of brain! However, I can do other things, which I'm sure YOU can't do! If I don't know the answer to something, I am entitled to ask! As a teacher of mine once told me, "there is NO SHAME in not knowing anything".. Ask and you find out! Ok!

Some of us (i.e. your's truly) are not in possession of an analytical, statistical type of brain!

And some seem to have no brain at all.

Seriously though, all (or at least the vast majority people) are capable of analysing. I'm not sure what a statistical brain would be, or why it would be useful, but being 'statistical', or even analysing have little to do with being able to read and deduce.

I DO have a blooming brain a**hole!

And I JUST DID READ AND DEDUCE FROM WHAT ZOOT SAID TO ME, AND THUS AM NOW ABLE TO COPE!! I meant logical, mathematical tasks are simpler to some than others! End of.

Yes but when you click the button on a post, you are taken to the 'Post a reply' screen, which automatically has the text of the post you are responding to surrounded by 'quote' tags. It does not take an analytical brain to work out you need to delete some of that text to only quote part of the post.

However, agree that there are things you will be able to do that I can't. Like getting worked up about a message board.

Uh oh.................. *silence*............ you just insulted a Mod............................ *tumble weed goes past*.

Hmm.

I ain't getting worked up! I just don't like put-downs!

I never said otherwise, I said some (not necessarily meaning you, although certainly implying it) seem to have no brain.

[Ballbag]

Hmm.

Double uh oh.................... The Lord Protector is in town.

Yep, you've a great way of writing your way round stuff, I'll give you that! Certainly one of your finer traits in life

How old are you?

[Vivienne]

Old enough to stand up for myself, darling.
