1. When you post a comment how long do you have to be able to go back and edit the comment? For example if I post a comment and then some time later I would like to edit or delete the comment how long do I have? If the time has passed do I contact a moderator and will they do as requested?
 
2. Can I delete a comment?
 
3. Can I 'lock' a topic that I, myself have started or do I need to contact a moderator to do so?
 
4. When you contact a moderator, how long does it usually take him/her to get back to you?
 
5. When you have someone placed in your ignore list, are they notified or do they know at all?
 
6. Does the 'ignore list' only include someone messaging you or does it also include their comments also?
 
7. How do I stop all comments being sent to my personal email address? (My phone is going 'beep..beep...beep' every time someone responds to a topic I have started. :-)
 
8. I see the 'quote' icon - but I only want one part of the comment quoted, not the whole comment...how to I do that?
 
9. How do I post a link from another web address that you can just click on instead of having others copy and paste?
 
10. How do I make a comment or part of a comment bold or change the size of wording?
 
*****I think that's all for the moment, but I am sure I will have more as time goes on. I looked for the answers myself, but alas, could not locate them.*****
 
Thank you ahead of time for taking YOUR time to answer my questions. 4951

When you have someone placed in your ignore list, are they notified or do they know at all?  No, the only way they know is when they realize they cannot see a post of yours.
6. Does the 'ignore list' only include someone messaging you or does it also include their comments also? Everything.  You can't see them and they can't see you.  That includes PMs.

8. I see the 'quote' icon - but I only want one part of the comment quoted, not the whole comment...how to I do that?   Once you hit quote, just edit and remove whatever you want from their quote that is in the "REPLY" box.  You don't have to include the entire quote.  4951

[quote-tag-mismatch]1. When you post a comment how long do you have to be able to go back and edit the comment? For example if I post a comment and then some time later I would like to edit or delete the comment how long do I have? If the time has passed do I contact a moderator and will they do as requested?  You have up to an hour to edit. 2. Can I delete a comment?  No, only Admin can delete.  If you catch it within that first hour, you cannot delete the comment/post, but you can go and erase the contents of the comment/post, leaving it blank.
 
3. Can I 'lock' a topic that I, myself have started or do I need to contact a moderator to do so?  No, only Admin 4. When you contact a moderator, how long does it usually take him/her to get back to you?  There are only two moderators and they both are busy.  If you need to flag a post because it is not compliant with KDC rules, it will get their attention a little faster.  If you just have a question or comment, you can include @kingwooddotcom or @Drekonix within the post or send them a PM (Private Message).5. When you have someone placed in your ignore list, are they notified or do they know at all?  No, the only way they know is when they realize they cannot see a post of yours.
6. Does the 'ignore list' only include someone messaging you or does it also include their comments also? Everything.  You can't see them and they can't see you.  That includes PMs.
7. How do I stop all
comments being sent to my personal email address? (My phone is going
'beep..beep...beep' every time someone responds to a topic I have
started. :-)   The best thing to do is got into your profile and change the setting so you don't automatically get an email for every response to your posts.  Also, when you write a text, there is an option at the bottom of the page to indicate if you want to get emails when anyone responds.
8. I see the 'quote' icon - but I only want one part of the comment quoted, not the whole comment...how to I do that? 
Click on the quote and it will copy the entire post into a new box.  Then just go in and delete anything you don't want repeated.  Just make sure you leave the [quote-tag-mismatch] at the beginning and the [quote-tag-mismatch] at the end of the quoted text.  Yes, I know that's going to look funny.
9. How do I post a link from another web address that you can just click on instead of having others copy and paste?  
Just copy the URL from the web address that you want to hyperlink and paste it within your post.  The best way is to paste it on a blank line and then after pasting, you MUST hit ENTER to make it a hyperlink and to go to the next line in your post.
10. How do I make a comment or part of a comment bold or change the size of wording? 
Those options are icons at the top of a Post box.
 
The rest I'll leave to someone else.   [quote-end-tag-mismatch]
 
@donnatella:  Good job.  I added my two cents worth.

11. How do I post a picture?
 
@Nickeleena:  First, you will need to have the picture saved somewhere on your PC (or phone or tablet) and know the folder it's in.  When you click inside a blank post box (at the bottom of all thread pages), it will darken the icons at the top of the Post box.  Some people have had problems attaching pictures from the first line in the Post box, so hit Enter at least once (or enter at least some text in that first line).  Then click the icon on the far right. A small box will come up with a button that says Browse.  Click that and it will bring up a window in which you can go to the folder containing the picture you want, click on your picture, and then hit OPEN.

@kingwooddotcom:  Joe, you ever think of publishing a starters guide or FAQ for newbies?  It seems like these are typical questions from new users.  I can think of a few other questions as well.If you're interested in posting something like this, I would be willing to put something together (with screen shots).  Just let me know.

@Nickeleena:
 
Others said delete what you do not want to quote, that is the hard way. Easier way is to just highlight the part you want to quote, them hit the quote button, it only quotes the highlighted text, even in Mobil like I did here. 4951

@Nickeleena:
 
On the main site, highlight the part you want change, and use the text icons top left of the reply edit window. Mobile, you have to use tags to do it. 4951
