When you read someone's post, click on the QUOTE button instead of the REPLY button. Then it will show you the entire quote bracketted by "{quote" things. Just select and delete the part of the quote that you don't want to show up later. After the end quote thingy, write what you have to say.

OR...you can type something, select it, and press the little icon that looks like a cartoon caption,(in the tool bar above the text box) which will put the quote thingies around that text. Like this.

Just select and delete the part of the quote that you don't want to show up later. i hit quote, got rid of the brackets and just left the text i wanted and am now typing after it but im not sure if this will put the above what i wanted in a box

Another way if you haven't figured it out yet is to type add the actual quote html tags to whatever you are quoting. This gives you the freedom to add the quote to wherever you want within your post.

In general with tags there is a start tag and an end tag.
For every start tag there must be an end tag or the start tag won't work.
The end tag is depicted by having '/' next to it.
These tags are always enclosed by '[' & ']'.

[ quote ] (remove spaces) = start tag
[ /quote ] (remove spaces) = end tag

I just copy and paste the text and hit the Quote button.
