Default Need help with quoting...

I must be stupid or something, can't work out how to quote people in that nice little grey font that most people seem to manage. I have tried the obvious, highlighting the text, copying and pasting but it looks all big and black, and not small neat and grey at all!

Any advice anyone......

I think you click the "quote" blue box thing at the bottom right. This is what I just did now, and got this. If it works, that's what you do. If it doesn't, well, someone else will tell you!!!!!

Ok Just trying it, it still looks big and black in my box, maybe it will turn out small and grey when it appears! Thank you!

No can't get the hang of that Ka Ora, what do you do first?

I tried it like this: Press multi quote under the message you want to quote- it goes pink, then select the bit of text? Then press reply..... but the bit of my quote didn't appear, then if it had, how would I go back to get the next bit I wanted to quote???>>>

:embaressed_smile: - I really feel stupid now, but would like to learn how to do it.......Thank you

No what ya do is press the middle one so it goes pink press another if you want but on the last post you want to quote just press the regular quote button. Then all the posts open up in the text box.
