Gurthang has just left Hobbiton.
The way I usually quote someone, or partially quote them, is by clicking on the post reply button. This brings up your text window. Scroll down and you'll see a review of the last forty posts in the thread. (if the one you want is farther, you'll have to click on the 'review entire thread' link.) Simply find the part you want to quote, copy and paste it into your text window, then highlight it all with your mouse. In the row of icons at the top of your text window, the last one is 'quote'. With your text highlighted, push that button and it will wrap the text in quote tags (they'll look like [quote]text[\quote ]). The text will then be displayed as a quote.

If you want to put the person's name at the top of the quote, simply type '=' after the first quote tag then put the user's name. ([quote=user's name])

OR

push the quote button in the person's post you want to quote, then simply delete the portion you don't want. This will leave the part you want to quote, along with the quote tags and the user's name already in place.

Hope that helps.
