Artsy, if you click the blue "quote" button at the top right of someone's post, that will put their entire post, with their name, into your response.

However, if you only copy a part of what they said, and then click the white "quote" button at the top of your reply screen, it will only put what you copied into quotes - no name of the poster. In other words, there are two ways to quote someone - quote their whole post with their name, or copy and paste what they said into your reply. Two different quote features.

Hope that helps.

We need to show grace to other believers as the Father has shown us grace.

Thank you Artsy, for replying. You know I have a lot of communication problems. I am not good at explaining what I want to say either orally or on paper,so sometimes it is confusing. As far as all of these topics are cocerned hallowe'en, smoking, etc It is strictly between the believer and the Holy Spirit and his or her knowledge of what is required of them. As christians, we are all held accountable to God and the more we get to read and understand what God is saying, the more accountable we become. The deeper you get into the word the more you realise that we are not supposed to rush around trying to find ways to please God, but rather to stop ourselves from doing things that displease Him like putting Him after the things we do to please ourselves There has to be a motive in everything we do.

Take Cats for example. Come hallowe'en she doesn't only hand out sweeties to the kids, she passes out tracts to them as well. That's a far cry from partaking in the celebration just for the heck of it. Cats is using it as a tool to further the work that we are all supposed to doing, and that is evangelising or spreading the gospel As she mentioned some of the kids even hugged her for it. Halleluljah. On the other hand my wife and I always have sweets on hand to give the callers,because if we dont we are likely to find our mail box has been uprooted next day.

So to me it's like christmas and all celebrations and whether you celebrate it or not, I shouldn't think, in any way alter your salvation chances, but, that's not for me to say, for me I prefer to give it a miss. You know,........ as for me and my house,.....well you know the rest.

Artsy Lady, you have a good day in the Lord.

eric.

Yet another way is to click the blue quote button and then when the reply screen shows up you can scroll down to the quoted text and select and delete what you don

Okay, I'm a real technical idiot here. Do you highlight, then copy and paste and then hit the quote button or what? lol

Eric: It seems I misread you and I should be the one apologizing for not understanding what you were saying. Sorry about that. :il:

Anyway, no hard feelings at all. :hug:

Well Jen,

the way I do it is just hit the blue quote button. Then on the following screen scroll down to where you can read the text being quoted. The click and drag to select anything you don
