Maybe I'm being simple minded, but I have found that most of my challenges in business (or life) have had more to do with me and my idea or belief of what I'm worth or what I can do or should try way more then will it work or my customers. In other words, I've learned, for me, that the more I work though my own self limitations, the better my life, business and general happiness becomes. As they say the Gods will reward honest hard work.

I still don't know how to get the light blue quote thing working?!?

OneBoneHead: I recently heard this:

There is a door that you want to enter, but you cannot. An elf is standing by the door and is preventing you from going through. The elf does this by saying only two things. The first thing the elf says is "You are not good enough." If you are able to think yourself through this statement and dismiss it, then the elf will certainly stop you with it's next statement, "Who do you think you are?"

Just a thought for anyone to think about, if anyone chooses to think about it.

Here's how I do the quote;
1-COPY the text
2-Hit reply
3-Click on the second to the last icon in the bottom row of BBC tags (looks like a cartoon bubble)
4-Place cursor between the two QUOTES in the brackets.
5-Right click PASTE


I use RO 8:28 as my guide.

Everything's getting so expensive these days, doesn't anything ever stay at the same price? Well the price for reupholstery hasn't changed much in years!

You mean like this?

I click on "Insert quote" in the upper right corner of the person's dialog box that you want to quote from. Then I go back and delete all but the exact quote that I want to cite. But be carefull not to delete the quote brackets at the beginning and end of the selected quote.


Back to attention grabbing, "Plain English" titles, I want to clarify my stance. I have NO problem with them as long as the article has some substance.
Example: 2 GREAT WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT
1) Several paragraphs that basically tell you to diet
2) "          "                 "      "           "     "    "  exercise

I could've figured those out on my own.

1) Ask for references
2) Call the BBB
3) Shop around

Couldn't get it work your way, but I like it better since it includes the name of the person your quoting.


How about the guy who placed ads for a pamphlet entitled  "How to make millions overnight"
The pamphlet was short and to the point; Do what I'm doing! :D

I'm not sure why it isn't working for you guys.
Go to the Topic Summary just below your reply message box. Pick the post that you want to quote from, and click on "Insert quote" in the upper right corner. The entirety of the post will now appear in your reply box. Just go in and delete what you don't want, but leave the quote brackets at the beginning and end.

Does that make any better sense?

Still baffled.
Maybe it's the browser you're using?
