I am uncertain as to what it is that needs editing in my comment.

Can I please get some help as to what it is that is objected to so I can edit my post in Breathing.

If it's the last reply in that thread it looks as though it just needs your reply adjusted so that it is outside of the part quoted from others?

Yes. If it's the post I'm thinking of, the message you wrote got mixed into the post you quoted.

You should be able to edit the post and move the square bracketed word "quote" so that it goes only to the end of the message you are quoting.

If you have trouble we might be able to help you further here

Thank you for the replies, I'll know for next time. I had never used the quote button before and didn't know how to separate it from the quote.

I'm very inexperienced in how some of the things work outside very basic comments. think I'll stick to them :-) I just went in and took the quote out.

Lol,  yeah,   I quit trying to figure out the whole quote thing.   You are not alone in being confused by how to work all that ;)

Years ago I sold on eBay and wanted to have nice HTML auctions so I learned HTML.  

Which helps understand the quote problems.

I am adding an extra space which would be taken out after the bracket.

[ quote]So and So said, "Have a nice day[/ quote]

Without the extra space for the beginning quote and the ending /quote then the quote will look like this:

So and So said, "Have a nice day



Your message would be here (after the quoted text).

I hope this has helped.
