How can I insert a quote from a previous post in a thread into my reply?

I tried the quote function and it didn't do anything.

Celebrities known by a single first name, no surname needed:

1. Cher
2. Madonna
3. Bono
4. Sting
5. Lady Gaga
6.

Yes, just highlight the post, when the little pop up appears with quote or reply, choose quote. Go to post in the thread you want to and click Insert Quotes under the message box. Then click Quote Messages.

Thanks, SeaBreeze, I did it twice!

You're welcome @RubyK.

Thanks SeaBreeze, you've helped make life easier for me!

That made me remember when I couldn't cut & paste. The only instruction ever offered was: "Oh it's easy." I tell you what, if you Google: "Oh it's easy," you won't find an instruction how to cut & paste. Someone kindly took the time to show me and I agree, it is easy. But until that kind of helpfulness comes along, it's no more easy than learning anything else that you weren't born with the knowledge to comprehend.

I have these items checked for months but haven't gotten any email notification. My junk/spam folder doesn't have any email from this site. What else should I check?

@cookiei, on that preference page above the notifications info you just posted, did you check Email Options to receive emails? That might be it. You always have to click on Save after you make any changes.

Alerts are not emails and only appear on the forums, as SeaBreeze said, you need to check email options on the same page.

I want to receive email when someone quotes my message and have these checked in the preferences page but it doesn't email me. I don't want to receive news and other things. There is Alert and Push check boxes for "Quotes your message". It would be nice if you add Email to this option.

It would be nice if you add Email to this option.

Sorry, it's not possible with the current forum software.
