Hi guys. I've been having trouble quoting posts when I want to reply to something someone else has said. I hit the "post reply" button as always, but my posts look like they run on from the post I'm quoting, appearing in italics even though I haven't put them on.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
TIA

Try leaving about 3 lines between the quoted text and your reply. (imaginary lines obviously)
Failing is not a fault, refusing to try is

Thanks ORedhead 🙂 Testing 1, 2, 3, testing.
The other thing to look for is the quotation marks which are about 7 squares in from the left and helpfully look like quotation marks
When it is yellow you are writing in a quotation box
When it is blue you are not writing in a quotation box, which is why I can
switch it on
and switch it off again
I start typing where the cursor is, and then edit the quote after that if I don't want to quote it all. Joanna, thanks for the information on the quotation marks. I didn't realise they had a use.
