How? and Why?

I use copy and paste...it takes a little work, but a good response deserves a little work to make it happen....

As far as disappearing, I have never had that one happen to me ....... yet ..... but unless it's really offensive, and you not only crossed the line, but fell off the cliff, not saying you did, I can think of no reason for posts to disappear.

Perhaps a moderator combined the new post into a thread of an existing or more appropriate thread!!

 

Tony,

I did what you suggested and all I get is your entire post is quoted. Do you have to press the reply button within the post box, or the last one at the bottom of the thread?

Thanks.

Thanks to RPatterman, as this may be a response to my not using the quote function properly.

 

For multiple quotes, I tend to use the 'multiquote' button for each post I want to quote, then click the 'reply' button at the end of the thread. Other methods may work, too, but this one seems fine.

It also helps to edit out the parts you're not referring to - it's seldom necessary to quote the entire post.
