Folks, Please read my signature below. Mark says that not all people know that there's another button "Add reply". USE "ADD REPLY" BUTTON to NOT include the quote of the previous post. USE "REPLY" button only if you want to include the ENTIRE post as a quote in your post.

This is what happens when you click the Posted Image button. Note the quotation mark in the button. That means it quotes whatever post is just above the button. Every post has a button like this underneath it.

And this is what it looks like when you use the Posted Image button from the bottom of the page (not underneath an individual post.

Note: No quotes on the button, no quoted text in the post. There is only one button like this at the bottom of every page, unlike the quote/reply buttom which is under every post. When you click the quote button under a specific post, it quotes everything in THAT post.



Why this is a big deal I will never know, but since Youmast won't drop it, I thought I'd clarify the difference.
Sometimes you WANT to quote a specific post, when you want to reply to a specific person or comment.

Or... you can click on the "Reply" button, but delete all unnecessary information from the quotes. Like this...

....That means it quotes whatever post is just above the button....


Sometimes I see a stupid post,
after that
a really stupid reply that includes a prev stupid post,
and at the end...
a really really stupid reply on that really stupid reply that includes a stupid post.

SHOULD I READ THIS SO MANY TIMES? GIVE ME A BRAKE!!! :wacko:

OK, now maybe you can get them to fix all the unnecessary double spacing... they have a bug in their s/w... Mark knows about it, this has been going on for months. I guess I could start a campaign like you have...Note below, only a single space was typed, but watch what the system does to it... What else can we complain about?

Just relax dude,

What are you doing when the market trades within 1-2 points range. Are you "trading"?

No... I guess you're watching football (soccer Champions League) match, chating with friend, cleaning up of your refrigerator from food and beer...

Get some life, brother.... :)
