Quoting

How do people get the blue quotes?

Here's some help: http://davesgarden.com/faq/forums/#172

thank you!

You're very welcome!

i did it!

Yea :o)

BTW, we have a "test" forum here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/test/all/ where you can start a thread to practice inserting quote boxes and other html formatting tags - and Dave's "smiley face", as well as experiment with uploading images.

thanks terry, i didn't realize

You're welcome - it's not a heavily-frequented forum, but it does come in handy from time to time!

i'llkeep that in mind

Terry,

Maybe it's not heavily frequented 'cause a lot of us didn't know it was there. I didn't, and I've been here nearly two years. Just shows I can learn something new every day.

Thanks,

Karen

Karen, that's probably a big part of the explanation, and the other reason is because it has limited usefulness ;o) But when you need it, it's handy - if you know it's there!

What if I added a link to that forum within the FAQs for quote boxes, html formatting and uploading photos? That might at least let those most likely to need it find it.

I think that would be a great idea, also maybe making a sticky in beginning gardening or here that tells where the FAQs and lists that forum for messing around with new post options?

I second that. I had read the FAQs on the special formating, uploading photos, and such, and yet did not know about the special forum.

All done: http://davesgarden.com/faq/forums/#131 and http://davesgarden.com/faq/forums/#172

Terry,

A lady on freecycle just asked how to find out what kind of fruit trees she had and whether the fruit was edible. I directed her here with a link, and also gave her instructions on looking up the FAQ page to start her off, opening a thread and adding photos, etc. Maybe she will join us. ; - )

Karen

Great! That's often how it starts ;o)

Yep. She wrote back and said, "Thanks very much!" So, I expect there will be a new member from Birmingham soon.
