PS I've got to get this quote thing figured out!
Hi Sue,
I fixed your quote problem in the previous message. Now below you find the explanation on how you can add the quotes.
There are basically two options the first (and easiest) is to just click on the button 'Quote' which is located on the bottom right of the post you actually want to quote. This way the code that generates the nice boxes is created automatically. Feel free to delete the portions of text you don't want quoted, and just leave the part you want to quote and you are done.
The second way is just starting a new topic and cliking on the 'Quote' button which is located in the list of buttons above the box in which you are typing.
When clicking on one of these buttons, the necessary code is generated. If you hold your cursor above the desired button, it shows you where you should be typing text in between the genreated code.
Now only for Quotes this second options is slightly more difficult because you have to type the name of the user you are quoting in there in a very specific way (you have to add ="username" after the word quote.
For instance, if you type this code (but without the spaces before and after the brackets) [ quote="SueN" ] type text Sue said [ /quote ] you get:

But really, option 1 for quotes is the easiest.
Option number 2 is also interesting if you want to put things in bold, underline things or the other fun stuff you can do in a message.
If you still have problems, feel free to contact me (in a private message or here on the board) and I'll help you a bit more.
