Still quite don't understand this. When replying to a post do I press on Quote or quick reply to the post. Or do I press on new reply this is in the red box? Sometimes I see edit when I go back and check on my post. I guess I am still trying to figure this site out. Me and computers just don't mix. And so scared that if I press the wrong button my computer will blow up. lol
use new reply to use the smilies, colors, fonts, etc when replying within a thread. This is one you'll use most often. If you wish to quote the exact words from someone's post like I will with Part of yours You use quote button to quote previous posts and then outside the quote marks which look like [ Quote=someone's name]the quoted material here[ /quote] you type Your reply. Quick reply I haven't used in a long time I think it's minus any features of editing so use new reply mainly eh. Also within new reply you can still quote someone like I did for my post here. Hope this helps.
You can't. If you're talking about the edit button, that's there so you can go back and revise your own posts. Only you, mods, and admins can use that button. If you're talking about the inserted text (I know it used to appear, not sure if it still does), that cannot be removed either. It's just to denote that someone has edited the post.
A couple of things. Can you post an attachment to a thread post, like say a digital photo? At a previous site which is similar in some ways to this one, you were allowed to post pics but they were limited in size. You were also allowed to post your own avatar pic, but that also had a size limit...(75X90 pixels I think it was) but the attachment pics were larger. I see that when you use the quote thingy, it posts the entire post of the person you are quoting...so do you just delete everything but the line or what few words you need from the other person's post?
