Lori, I wish you (and everyone else for that matter) could know the success I've had. I know how lucky (read blessed) I've been and don't know what to attribute it to. Even my bad days sound better than some people's good days.

I sure wish I knew how to share my good fortune.

Now, if that good fortune could only stretch into the are of my immigration status ... .

Bill,

Two things. Number one, I feel fantastic. Please don't get me wrong. I think I am one of the lucky ones that after just a week or so, I started to feel good and it just got continually better. Yes, I don't sleep through the night still, but I'll take it over how I used to feel any day. I'm not complaining in comparison. I just really can't remember sleeping more than maybe five hours straight in years. But even with all the wakeups during the night, I still feel 110% better now.

Number two, HOW DO YOU GET SOMEONE'S NAME IN THE GRAY AREA OF THE QUOTE BOX? I have been trying to figure that one out and can't. It's probably so simple, but I just can't figure it out. PLEASE share???

I click on the button labelled "Quote" in the upper-right corner of a message and it quotes the text complete with the user's name.

A couple of times I've "fudged" things (like quoting someone who was guested and corrected it to their proper name) by putting their name in quotes after an equal sign (=) in the start of the quote. Something like this:

\

someones name goes here wrote:followed by the quote[\/quote]

which would result in this:

someones name goes here wrote:followed by the quote

Ummm, you mean to say that for 1459 posts you've been doing it the hard way, by hand? .

I used to highlight and click copy and then paste it into the reply box when I opened it. Then I would highlight it again and THEN hit quote.

Yes, for 1,459 posts, I've been roughing it out...you saved me!!! I owe you one now...Thanks!
