   When you are in "Reply" mode, the original message is displayed below. Just highlight the text you wanna quote, copy (Ctru-C), and paste (Ctrl-V) it into your reply box. You can change the font size, color, etc with the property selections at the top of the reply box. Like this:

   How do I include a portion of the previous message so everyone can see who I'm replying too. I've seen some in a different color or italicized but can't seem to figure out how to do that.

   When you click on the reply button, your reply window appears with the original post below it. Just cut-n-paste whatever quote you need into your reply, then either put quotes around it or highlight it and use the button above for italics/color/size/bold/font, etc.

   Tips: when you select the quote for copying, make sure you only highlight the text and not the post#, etc.

   You have to use HTM: coding in Firefox. If you check the box below that says "Check her if HTML tags..."<i> text</i> gives you italics<b> text </b> gives you boldingThere are other tags for color, etc., but they are cumbersome to use. Using IE for formating here, unlike just about any other bulletin board on the Net, is required for a easy user-interface.

   Important question: What browser (Windows Exploder, Mozilla Firefox, etc) are you using?

   > Firefox 3.03Since Mzinga doesn't enable the special editing buttons except under Windows Explorer, you have to do it the poor-man's way. Either quote like I did above (using copy/paste) or learn how to do the fancy HTML tags.

   Or you can do as I do:

   There is an add-on for firefox that will open certain sites in IE inside of firefox. I use that for BT. All other sites open in FF only.
