Could someone please tell me how to quote part of previous comment.I know what the green arrow does and the quote button but not sure how to use the other 2 thanks Jason

Just highlight and delete the words you want to remove mate. As long as the quote still starts and ends with [QUOTE you will be ok

On this occasion, to start with I hit the button to the right of the quote button (if you roll over it, it will say multi quote) which is then highlighted orange. I then went to Guy B's quote and hit the "quote" button.

That then brings both quotes (posts) up in the reply box.

If you then want to edit / remove some wording, just highlight and delete. Making sure you leave the [/QUOTE] at the beginning and end of each quote unbroken.

Hope that helps?

Nope, i think you got your reply right.

It was because Worzel had used the [ /quote ] in his reply - so it cut short your quote when quoting him!

Confused?!

Looks like you've sorted it Mr Worzel

Scooby999, its surprising what you pick up after leaving school and most of it from sources you would'nt believe
