    I can’t find the thread from earlier today where I had asked someone how he copies what I write but makes it looks separate. So I thought to start a ‘How To’ thread to find out. So here are my questions, feel free to add your own.

    1) How do you copy what I write but make it look like it is in its own thing?

    2) How do you know if someone posted something in reply to something you wrote in a thread?

    Derech HaMelech:

    1) I’m not sure what you mean by “make it look like it is in its own thing,” but I think you mean “blockquote.” You do this by putting <blockquote> before the quote and </blockquote> after the quote. Also, you can always set off the quote by putting it in italics. You do this by putting <em> before the quote and </em> after the quote.

    2) If the person starts with your name (as I did), then you know it is in reply to something you wrote. If there is no name, you just have to figure it out from the context.

    thanks haifagirl that first part was what i was wondering.

    the second thing was more along the lines of what eclipse wrote. I just thought there was some trick that everyone except me knew to know if someone responded to you or does everyone just randomly go through the threads every time they move up the list.
