How can I quote previous posts in my replies?

<p>

</p>

<p>Thank you SO much for asking! I have searched all over the help areas and somehow failed to find the directions.</p>

<p>I used to be able to program in assembler but could not achieve a simple quote! :D</p>

<p>@Consolation: IMHO, assembler is more intuitive than some bulletin board codes. ;)</p>

<p>having a spazz moment…</p>

<p>I was trying to quote geek-mom’s quote # 37.</p>

<p>I did the following (without the spaces</p>

<p>[ quote=“geek_mom;37”][ /quote]</p>

<p>nothing is showing up.</p>

<p>what am I doing wrong?</p>

<p>So glad I found this thread, been trying to learn how to do this for awhile.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Test only!!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Testing, testing…</p>

<p>This is just a test…

</p>

<p>just trying another one-my kids would be making so much fun of me right now!!!

<p>[rolleyes]</p>

<p>Okay, how does one do that last one?</p>

<p>Consolation, it’s rolleyes with colons before and after instead of brackets.
:rolleyes:</p>

<p>

I had to try it too! Never could figure this out!</p>

<p>Or just type the @ sign twice! @@. Easy!</p>

<p>Being an ancient here on cc (and IRL :rolleyes:), I remember the thrill of learning all of this stuff.</p>

<p>Only to find out that my DS (in college at the time) thinks emoticons are s-o-o-o lame.</p>

<p>And here I thought he’d be impressed.</p>

<p>He did seem impressed that I could do ^_^. I’m guessing that’s lame, too… just not quite so lame.</p>

<p>OK, my turn [Only to find out that my DS (in college at the time) thinks emoticons are s-o-o-o lame./]</p>

<p>fail…</p>

<p>[Only to find out that my DS (in college at the time) thinks emoticons are s-o-o-o lame./quote]</p>

<p>and again…</p>
