I have noticed that some of the WB's use a shading technique when repeating the words of another poster. I tried everything I know and cant get it to work for me. How do you do that?

Easy way if you only want part of the post?
If I highlight "test" in the above post and hit quote, I get the whole post. Not that I mind,
might be an easy way, other than deleting after the quote.
I moved this to the Forum Help Topics, it may help others and fits here a bit better.

An alternative for the tech-savvy is to type
[ quote] (without the space)
Then copy and paste the text you want here.
Then finish with [ /quote] (without the space)
And it comes out looking like this.
"Sleepy alligator in the noonday sun
Sleepin by the river just like he usually done
Call for his whisky
He can call for his tea
Call all he wanta but he can't call me..."

Next week we'll give the multi-quote option a "go."
I had that problem in the beginning. What happened for me was I "skipped" a space. It took a good friend on here to help me figure out that you MUST begin typing right next to the ] at the end. If you skip even one space it won't do the shading but WILL still leave the quote in white.
also since this is a learning curve ... another thing I learned along my own path on this site was you can't past a picture inside a post UNLESS you are own Internet Explorer (well for me as I was using firefox and it took 5 people and a lot of testing on PM's to figure that one out). I thought I was dumb or something but someone finally said are you using IE and I said no, firefox ... and then I tried IE and bing bam bong it worked. I was doing it right all along just on the wrong browser... go figure
Another oddball ?
Why has the "save" changed to "vote" in edit mode?
Not that it matters, just odd.
It has changed back.

No. I have edited a couple times this week and seen it. Maybe I was on a poll thread. I have seen it since the server change. I will try to note the thread/post if I see it again.
I at first thought it was a clever reminder for people to do their civic duty.
