Wha'hoppen?

It took me about 15 minutes to get the new Forum to open up for me again, after 4-5 tries of getting silhouettes instead of the usual Avatars---and NO buttons to reply to a post.  But now that I'm back, can anyone tell me what happened to the "Quote" button?  I used to use this a lot to add my two cents to a Reply.  And, after all that discussion, some of it acrimonious (though I don't know why!), why did we never get back a properly spelled "Ditto" Smiley?

Re-edit: Okay, I found the "Quote" button.  Now, how to you change the font size?

Just hit the reply button, then you will see the text your replying to and a quote button underneath it. Lonnie

If you click the reply button you'll see the post you're replying to in yellow. At the bottom of that you'll see a 'Quote' button. Click that and the reply will be quoted in the reply box.

Re: Wha'hoppen?

 Another handy tip: if you want to only quote part of a message, highlight the text you want to appear and then hit the quote button.
