bearybipolar, I don't think we understand exactly what you're asking.

You mean when people say, "On preview..."?
That's when they hit preview and notice that, since they typed their comment, someone else has said something. So you add a little note if required and hit post.
Otherwise, I have no clue what you mean.

How do you quote the Preview feature when replying?
like that? highlight what you want to quote, copy, then paste it into the textarea box (the gray space where you type comments). then type your reply. posted by quonsar at 8:16 PM on November 20, 2004
oh, and i usually put italics tags at the beginning and end:

Yeah, I also assumed beary means "How do you quote in Preview when replying..."
There is nothing automated. Just cut and paste as quonsar shows above. (quonsar obviously speaks newbie-ese better than most) posted by vacapinta at 8:26 PM on November 20, 2004
