Every now and then somebody replies to a post with " name "wrote highlighted and a white box under with their original quote in it.

Ive tried using the quote button, but doesn't seem to work for me.

oh all right then.

you do it with {quote="heathy"}blahblahsheepblah{/quote} except use [] instead of {}.

Quote tab always works for me.
But, I know if you mess about with it too much, ie deleting some text, you can end up making it so it doesnt work in accidently deleting some of [/quote]

just click

on the post you want to quote

yes that's one way of doing it but it quotes all the text, if you only want a portion of it best you use the Quote button between u and Code or just write it out.
