    If you hit the blue "reply" after someone's post, you'll get the whole thing in your text. If you highlight a section of text, a reply button appears, and the highlighted section is what you'll get.

    Yes what he said
    Or if you select the QUOTE feature next to the reply it will copy it to a clipboard and you will be offered an "Insert Quotes . . ." Button in the lower left area just below the reply box on the bottom of the thread.

    It also allows either the Reply or Quote option, not sure what the difference is but both are means of 'adding' color and separation from the person's text that you are commenting on and your own text.

    You can also highlight the quoted text and edit it with the normal editing tools.

    I will gladly give away parts for vehicles that I no-longer own to whomever stops by. Anyone need a front bumper for a C 2500? Mower deck parts for a '64 Cub Cadet?

    Does this extend to vehicles you've never owned? Cuz I've got this 82 Seca that you have never owned, and it could use... (checking out showcase)... a windscreen and a couple of fancy custom storage tubes, even ones missing the end caps!
