Enforced suggestion #1:

Please put what is cut and pasted from DU (or elsewhere) inside a quote box in your posts.  This makes for easier reading.  We don't want lurking DUmmies to get confused.

Here is how it should look:

ENFORCED SUGGESTION NUMBER TWO:

Please be sure that the screen-name of the primitive shows up somewhere in the body of the thread.

Not the names franksolich baptizes the primitives, but their official Skins's island screen-name.

Sometimes when one is copying-and-pasting a bonfire from Skins's island, he grabs only the lower part of a primitive comment, omitting to bring over the primitive name, number of posts, and date of the comment.

The purpose of this is that it shows up in the search engines, when a primitive is looking for himself.

The primitives, such idolatrous narcissists, always looking for themselves, and for nothing else.

But we want the primitives to come over, so as to be illuminated.

Enforced Suggestion #2:

Bijou brings forth a good point.  We do need to link to wherever the quote came.  

Of course, the example above is not an actual quote and does not have a link, so I wasn't breaking any enforced suggestions by not providing a link.  

Once more, Thank You.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Actually, you are saving us tons of time here.  All we have to do is copy and paste that quote and it pretty much encompasses every DUmp post.

Actually, it wasn't until late last night that I discovered something.

I know, I know; slow learner.

Anyway, I used to always type the "quote" thing in its brackets, and then for here, also the "size" thing.

I always typed them out, by hand.

Then I discovered something

When one is on the "post reply" screen, there's a bunch of icons near the top of the page.  I usually never pay attention to icons, looking for text instead.

The penultimate icon on the bottom of two rows makes
Quote
.

If one puts the blinking vertical line in between the ][, and punches the penultimate icon on the top of the two rows, the "A" with arrows, one gets , to make the font in quoted material larger, and more readable.

So one has
Quote
, which is what one wants.

And then one simply puts the blinking vertical line in between the and , and inserts the copied text.

Really.  I never knew this.

I know, I know; Newton discovered the Law of Gravity some 300 years ago.

Oh, never mind.

I can't demonstrate an example, because the
Quote
thing works automatically, when one wishes to spell it out.

That's OK, Frank.  It's not the evidence that matters.  It is the serious nature of the attempt.

You can use the quote icon (second from right; lower row) to automatically add the quote tags, or you can type them in yourself. 

[quot e] at start.....[/quot e] at end with no space between 't' and 'e' as I have done on purpose, to get it to show up here (no need for red either).

Lauri, if you still can't get it to work, let me know.  Frank or I will do it for you if necessary.  We value your DUmmie posts. :)
