Hi @sparkie333 , When you use the "quote" button on someone's post, the system ALWAYS copies everything that that poster entered--pictures AND text--into the place at the bottom where you can create your own new post. It does NOT copy anything that was already a quote. Because the new posting will be YOURS, you are free to edit anything and everything in it. You can remove the pictures and/or any of the text from the original post using the regular tools--delete key or drag-select-then-delete. (In fact, it is good etiquette to delete the pictures that are not relevant to YOUR post.) You can also edit a picture in YOUR post to change its size by left-double-clicking directly on the picture and then entering new dimensions into the dialog box that appears. NONE of this has any effect on the original post. Whenever you quote someone or enter a reaction to a post, that poster does get a notification. If someone reacts to YOUR post, and you click on the notification, the system takes you to the quoted or "reacted to" post. HOWEVER, if you react to a post you may also start following that thread and will get notifications. @ebinmaine referred to two other tricks: 1. While creating a post, typing the "@" sign followed by the first letters in a member's name should give you a list of members whose names start with those letters (this trick isn't perfect -- names like @Jeff-C175, for example where you get a lot of "Jeff" and then typing the "-" causes the lookup system to stop!) Choose the name with a mouse click to insert it into your post. 2. Selecting specific text within a post to which you want to respond usually causes the system to display the "Quote Selection" button. Click that button to start your own post using only the selected text from the original post. There are settings on your browser that can be causing trouble. For example, if you have javascript turned off, most of the tricks don't work! Also, if you have an old version of the browser or operating system some of the features may not be supported.
