OK. I'm ignorant. Someone please educate me.
How does one separate a quoted segment as seen in Jules's post on MaryRobinette's post titled "Punctuation Question?" (It's the fourth or fifth post down)

Ironically, I had to go looking to remember how to do that. It turns out that when you are posting, there's a link to the left of the text box that says "UBB Code is ON". If you click that it takes you to the same page Eric mentioned with instructions of other cool things.
Also in the category of "it took me too long to realize" is that there's a window at the bottom of the post screen that shows the topic that's being discussed. Handy for grabbing and quoting things.

Hey....! There is a frame down there for the current topic. And I've been opening up new windows all this time. Thanks, Mary! Posts: 41 | Registered: May 2004

Hey, people "discovered" America and it occupies a lot more space (and was inhabited) than the "UBB Code is ON" button. When I "discovered" it, I knew quoting was possible, but it took me a while to figure out the right search to find the instructions to do it.

Yeah, the point is that for something to be "discovered" it had to previously have been unknown. I once thought that knowledge of where to find the UBB codes was implicit in being able to use a computer. Though I know know that this is not true, it still puzzles me how it could be untrue.

What I don't get about this site is that when I use it at home, I get little red icons on the posts that have been updated since I was here last, but when I use it from the office, I don't.

Probably the office network has cookies disabled. The site needs to use a cookie to know when you last visited.

It knows who I am without me needing to log back in (which doesn't work when I'm at home), so I wouldn't have thought there was a problem with that. Oh well, I'll live with it, I guess.

Jules, that behavior isn't cookie based. I think it is resident in the registry entries for your browser or something like that.

Quick check... no, apparently I have 'Username' and 'Password' cookies from this site here in the office, but nothing else. Will check what I have at home later Posts: 626 | Registered: Jun 2003

Well Jaime this is it so you're already in. The fragments and feedback section is were more work gets done. Try looking in the read here first section for more information.
Oh and thanks for pulling up a list of old friends I hadn't thought about in a while.
