    Newbie question...please forgive!

    How do you post and include a quote from another poster?

    So far I've managed to include what they wrote..but not the " originally posted by......." bit.

    Any advice??

    And again sorry for the dumbness of this request!

    It did work but thrill didn't put a closing 'quote' tag in his post and that screwed yours up when you quoted it. Try quoting this or one of your own and it will work.
