Questions about format

So all genre are in one forum? No way to different forums for planes, ships, cars etc?

There is the overall category and then subcategories in each.

Just click into the categories, just like at the old Forum.

In the lefthand panel, under Categories, there is also the choice “All Categories”, Missileman. I’ve been using that, too. The menu that opens on the right-hand side looks like this:

How does one reply with quote?
I assume it’s the reply box in the lower right corner of the post I wish to include the quote from, but when I try that the text of the post I wish to quote doesn’t appear.
Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
Mark

Try selecting (highlighting) the text you’d like to include in your reply. You should see a couple “quote” options pop up.

The text that I want to quote isn’t showing. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Feeling quite stupid with this. I’m sure it’s simple.

Got it. Clunky.

Thanks and cheers,
Mark

When you open your response, just click this button and it will quote the post you’re responding too. No muss, no fuss.

New topic. I noticed in this post by Eugene Rowe that instead of just resizing the image in the post it cropped it, removing the subject of interest. The picture was portrait format and it might not be as much of a factor in landscape format.

John, to me it looks like this is because that photo is hosted on Google photo and not directly in the forum. That would be something that would have to be taken up with the site hosting the photo.

This is what it looks like when I copied and pasted it in the FSM Forum.
