How do you quote from someone else's post in bold letters like I've seen all over the board?  I couldn't find the answer in the "help" section.

sorry to beat a dead horse (is that the expression???) but I still can't figure out how to quote a part of someone else's post.  To quote the whole post is fine, but if I try to erase some other stuff it doesn't come out right :(

[quote]sorry to beat a dead horse (is that the expression) but I still can't figure out how to quote a part of someone else's post. [/quote]

If that's what you mean by quote you need the following code from Help (I think):

(quote)Quoted text(/quote)

Btw isn't it flog a dead horse but then why would you flog it if its dead ???

as salaamu alaikum,

you need to keep both the [ quote ] and [/ quote ] things... the quoted text should stay between those two tags.

as for the horse, that the point... if the horse is dead, dont keep beating it.. its pointless :D
