Using quotes

Hi guys (Dan, Joe or Paul)
Trying to figure out how you put the complete quote from another thread into a reply. I know how to use the wrap quote icon. Suggestions? I tried using the little button at the bottom of the quick reply for "quote message in reply" but it doesn't seem to work. Any tips?

power windows.
ok i got the motor out and all the wires of course are disconnected. when i did this i left the windows open/down is there an easier way to get power to them rather then taking of the door panels and giving direct power to the motors? i guess what im asking is, does anyone have a picture on what wires under the hood need power to do this since i have tons of access to those.

You mean like this? I use the QUOTE button at the bottom of the message in question.

OK, I just saw the "from another thread"... I right-click on the QUOTE button, which opens the reply (with quoted text) in a new browser window then cut and paste into the original reply that I'm working on. I'm using Firefox, can't comment on IE, however.

Thanks Joe.
A little after I posted that thread I figured it out too. Sometimes the easiest way to hide something is put it right in front of my face. Anyway I'm using it now as you can see by this post. Best regards, Al

It gets more fun Dennis. You can also use the " tool and "multi quote" your thread reply. Have fun.
