Another really cool shortcut: Want to quote just a portion of a post? Go to the post, drag-mouse highlight the text to quote. “Quote” will appear. Click it and a new message opens with the quote inserted and referenced.
Now that is cool, add some more letters

You’ve replied to @Devon_Sinsley 6 times, did you know you could invite him out to lunch instead?
I’ve heard Level 10 is the Lobstergram…
lol Any time, Cliff.
I got a interesting message when I went to post a few days ago on an old thread that got brought back up ( super detailing one). It said something along the lines you makes up 80% of the replies on this thread, let others participate. I should have a screenshot it.
Yeah, Craig. Stop hogging the limelight.
I thought it was something like this:
I’m waiting for the forum to learn what “Devoning” is and then pop a post up after it’s been “Devoning”…
It’s still reading the 7 active threads Devin has going at the same time to be able to compile a Devoning frame of reference
I just edited my post topic … I do not remember being able to do that after say a couple of hrs not days after. I created it in Nov. and it’s Jan and it let me edit !
Yep. I noticed that one early on when it let me fix subject errors in old threads I was repairing.
Yea, I relaxed the time limit for editing a post so people could repair old topics. I’ll eventually turn that limit back on.
Well, please don’t be too quick. I still have a few hundred posts to fix
Another interesting suggestion from the software:
" Consider replying to several posts at once
Rather than several replies to a topic in a row, please consider a single reply that includes quotes from previous posts or @name references.
You can edit your previous reply to add a quote by highlighting text and selecting the quote reply button that appears.
It’s easier for everyone to read topics that have fewer in-depth replies versus lots of small, individual replies."
Not sure I agree with the last statement. In my experience folk never read all the text and only respond to part of it. I prefer multiple short responses.
I agree. The way threads have run in the past works just fine for me.
And I think editing a previous reply to add new thoughts screws up the continuity.
I agree, and I will be turning off the ability to edit older posts in a little while. I’ve kept it on to let people fix older posts.
Edit: I’m also tightening up the filters on garbage posting, quoting a message and adding no content, etc. I’ve been hand-removing them but the system can prevent them on its own to a certain extent.
Sounds good Bob. I still haven’t finished fixing old posts. Probably halfway through what I plan on fixing. Took a break for The Mik!
While looking @ the MIK build this year I saw something that I was wondering about
PINNED ON FEB 8 ???
Devon has enough holes in his head . …
What’s that about ?
