Quoting is really quite simple. Find the text you want to quote. Now, put your cursor at the beginning of it and hold down the left-click mouse botton and highlight it. Once you have it highlighted, click Ctrl-C. That copies it into the buffer.

Next, click on the quote symbol (third one from the right, second line, on this site) and press Ctrl-V to paste it.

Very easy. Hope this helps.

When you're composing your reply, highlight the text you want to have quoted and click the icon above the text window that looks like this:

Voila! The highlighted text will have quote tags around it.

You can also manually type {quote} and {/quote} before and after the text you want to quote, using the square brackets [ ] instead of the one's I used, of course.

Hope this helps.

You'd have to see what I did...let me try to show it.....

If you type [.quote.] (but leave out the periods), then type [./quote.] (but leave out the periods again) it works...gotta love HTML

It will show up like this:

If you type
