Can't seem to manage to copy a segment of a previous post to quote in my own post. Granted, my computer skills are limited, can anyone tell me how?

Press the Quote button from the bottom right of the post you wish to quote from, then remove the text you don't want to include, but ensure the quote tags at the start and end remain unchanged with the exact syntax retained.

Here goes...
And how to quote two different posters?
Like the above?

Click on the Multi-quote button on each post you wish to quote. The button(s) will turn red as you select the posts.

When you've selected all you need, click the Quote button and all the selections will be included in your post. You can edit the selections as outlined earlier.

I can't understand this. Iv'e signed in now and lo and behold the three buttons are there (Thanks Justsally). It's the first time I can remember seeing them although I have always been signed in when posting. Strange:eek:
