How do you just pick out (highlight) the area that you want instead of quoting the entire thread? Like some people just pick out a sentence out of a paragragh and highlight just that? How do you do that??

I just Quote the whole thing then delete the stuff i don't want.

Me too. I just highlight the part I want deleted, delete it, then hit post quick reply.
I still haven't figured out how "mult-quote this message" actually works, or what it does. ??
This is an example of copy-n-paste, then dragged over and highlighted with the "guote" balloon (4th icon over from right, on top of message reply window).Quote:

I think I got it.
If you click the icon (the one that goes red) on several different posts, you'll notice that they all stay red. After you select a couple of posts you click on the quote button and all the selected post will be quoted.Quote:
