I really want to join in on this thread, but I can't figure out how to do it efficiently - is there a way to copy and paste, or do you guys just re-type??

I really want to join in on this thread, but I can't figure out how to do it efficiently - is there a way to copy and paste, or do you guys just re-type??

Here's how I do it:

I keep the solution page open and also open up a new tab on my screen. In the new tab, I open the Forum thread and start a new response. Then, between the two tabs, I do two different copy-and-paste operations: first the quote and author, and then the comment(s).

After pasting in the quote, you may notice odd formatting (the quote shows up indented, and the author appears flush right), which may or may not bother you. I fix the format on my entries, but that's because I am the most persnickety format person in Chester County.

No, but you could stretch out the time to complete it and still have it done before April 15th.
