Hey, don't feel bad about this -- I've been coached by EXPERTS until they pulled their hair out...

See, this is how it should look.

Both JoJo and Bruce had a similar quote snafu...

The problem with this latest iteration is that this code:

[/quote]

frequently appears below the bottom "lip" of the reply box and if you don't scroll down, you don't see it.  I've made that mistake numerous times.  IIRC, the previous version of the board s/w did not have this particular problem.

I think the snafu happened because you typed your own quote and brackets.

I think that's what called humor 'round these parts.

Yes, I see -- it seems that when one quotes a quote, that's where the problem may lie...

[PennyO]

Or not...

[bk]

I just quoted the post where you weren't trying to quote a post and did exactly as I told you, and it worked perfectly.

Mine was on purpose.

Finished the intro to the book and wrote the first paragraph of the Prologue.

That's the only thing that will make your comment appear outside of the quote.

There won't be a problem if you scroll down and find the very last bracketed "quote" sign.

Nut clusters.

[PennyO]

anyway, I have a low frustration threshold where technology is concerned, so I will stop addressing the problem and pretend everyone just 'gets it' when attempt to post.

I tried looking at a different weather forecast, but it was only a colder forecast.  Time to stop watching the weather!

[Jane]

Sheesh... I didn't get that quote thing right... oy... can you spell severely tech-challenged???

no, it is easy to do.  you can modify your post, cut your comments & put them back in under the quote.

Hahahahahahahahaaaaa!!! As I said, tech challenged!!! "Modify" my post!!! "Cut my comments" and "put them back in under the quote"!!! Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

I guess I shouldn't mention our weather today.

and i feel bad not letting sherlock sleep on the bed

Did i mention he began cuddling with me at night again & flopping on top of me.  keith was exhausted from rescuing me over & over, so sherlock is back to sleeping in his own bed on the floor next to me.

Ohhhh, poor little doggy!!! He must be so sad...
[/quote]

lol, he really is fine on the floor.  half the time he goes down there on his own.  it is poor keith who couldn't get much sleep worrying about helpless me.  there is no way i can move Sluggo with one arm, heck i can barely do it with 2 arms.

[Jane]

penny, that sure quoted oddly-lol

I'd love to hear about it

hey, try typing with just your 1st left finger.

It was sunny and 68 with nice clear skies so we could see all the mountains that circle Phoenix. We went for a short hike.

Iowa farmer says happy birthday to his wife with manure
Posted: Friday, January 1, 2010 10:00 am

ZWINGLE, Iowa (AP) - Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like 123,000 pounds of manure.

Dick Kleis, a farmer in the eastern Iowa community of Zwingle, used a manure spreader to write "HAP B DAY LUV U" to mark his wife Carole's birthday this week.

He says it took around three hours and four loads of liquid manure to create the message - that amounts to about 123,840 pounds of manure.

His wife says he's done strange things in the past to mark her birthday, "but maybe not this weird."

Dick Kleis says he'd intended to include a heart but ran out of manure.

BK - My last post last night was at 10:35 PM Pacific time, not Eastern time.  (I specifically waited to see  page 18, and to prove it, it's still there.  the post-deleted hilarity didn't happen until after that.)

keith has a low frustration threshold where i'm concerned with technology.  he gets very tired of my yelling "KEITH, HELP"

I can't imagine not having the Food Network!

It stinks.

Bucks beat Ducks, now the Bearcats have their work cut out against the Gators.

Money, if you'll pardon the expression, is like manure.  (A Dolly reference)

In Hello Dolly, it's known as horace manure.
