Just been playing about Gordon, I ain't a clue, think it must be that dave was quoting on one of your posts, and then I pressed the quote button it brought both your names down

But you've just done it again in #16! You've put my comment in a 'Quote' box. That's the bit I can't do.
Tell me quickly, I hadn't much hair to start with, it's nearly all gone now!

That's never been my problem Gordon its when I wanted to just highlight a small portion of a post where I kept coming unstuck, but I'd read Lesses post before and still hadn't picked up what to do, was using the backspace arrow instead of the backspace on my laptop, now its sorted I'll be okay

Neil, I'd just decided I had suddenly gone TOTALLY senile when I noticed you had been in and fixed my attempt and Jaysays misquote. What a relief to know I'm only PARTIALLY senile as I thought I was.

I'm thick, and do it a daft way.

I just open lots of pages, and cut and paste what I want.

I did once do it propery...by mistake, but I don't know how.

I think you need to click the ''+'' button, between 'Quote' and 'Quick reply', bottom right of a post.

if its multiple quotes from same thread its easy, yeh just press the small red box wi the + sign in,from each post yeh wanna use, if its from another thread,no idea,thats me knackered.

That's what I tried but could only quote one post....
cutting and pasting is what i've done too but some people have huge lists of re-quotes and it gets mind-boggling...especially when i'm in one of my "blonde" days and can't cope with anything...
