Hi There,
I know this might seem a little silly, but I can't figure out how to quote. I think it is really useful to use quotes from a post to reference to when answering on a busy thread and I just dont know how.
Help?

Re: Using Quotes
highlight the text you want to quote, and copy and paste it into your own reply.
then highlight it again, and click on the quote button up top ^
this will add what are called quote tags either side of the text.
or you can just add these in yourself by typing them.
if you want to include who *said* the quote add ="poster's name"
after the word in the first tag. (example below)
so for just a general quote you'd have written:
[quote]some text[/quote]
and for a quote attributed to a certain person, i'll use you as an example.... you'd have written:
[quote="farsidegirl"]some text[/quote]
