Wasn't there a "Quote" button in the box for private messages? I think I could quote private messages in the past. If not, could it be done please? Thanks.  ------------- "PA's own GI Joe!"

Hey, you're the general issues guy.
Snap to it!
 But seriously, I think I remember quoting PM's too... ------------- Beauty will save the world.

Quote or no quote button, it still doesn't explain why you're not responding to my PMs.  If the quote button has disappeared, it should be brought back. -------------

Not a problem, just some few sentences and ideas that deserved some feedback...or, I guess, not...   -------------

I never get any private messages, except for "warnings" from the administrative team. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Maybe it's my pride speaking, but I've replied to any message you've given me... -------------

| Why would there be a quote button? When you click reply, the original message is automatically included in the reply. |

I sometimes need to quote parts of PMs I receive into PMs I send to other people, usually due to Team work.

| I could be wrong, but I don't believe such a facility has ever been there. You can "forward" a PM by simply clicking reply and changing the name of the recipient. |

 Is simply using "copy" and "paste" too much effort?

^ Yeah, but when it has the "Originally posted by ..." mark, it's like a hand written paper becoming an official document because of the official stamp & signature. Also it makes things more clear, it's a visual aid, it helps phrasing your thoughts. For example, wouldn't it have been more simple for you to not quote my post? No it wouldn't...  ------------- "PA's own GI Joe!"

Well, that "originally posted by" is no guarantee of authenticity, or that the quoted material hasn't been monkeyed with by the sender, as you can see above....

Peter, you're proving my point with every post you make: the need to quote posts. Thank you. Btw wtf, do I ususally leave unfinished sentences? Crap.  ------------- "PA's own GI Joe!"

What you are asking is not possible. A QUOTE button in a PM reply would quote back into the PM reply you were quoting in the same way that quoting this thread posts back into this thread. If you wanted to quote from a different thread into this one you have to cut'n'paste from that thread into this one and the same would be true in a PM.
If you want to quote a PM from Micky into a PM to Peter the only mechanism that could work would be cut'n'paste. The only difference is you have to manually type in the [ QUOTE=username ] .... [ /QUOTE ] forum codes.
