For the life of me I can not figure out how to use the quote option.

I'm sure it's simple, but I can't do it.

Can someone please describe the process. Thanks.

It's like this. Only you do it instead of me.

Copy the phrase you want to quote. In the post box, select quote. Quote will appear in the box. Paste your copied quote after the word quote, then click the quote box again so that the word "quote" appears at the end of your pasted text.

Of course, I do things differently. I copy and paste what I'm going to quote. Then I highlight what I copied and click on the "quote" option, which automatically places the quotes on either side of the selection.

Exactly what I do, and have always done on other forum sites as it's very simple and easy. Do it that way and the proper BBCode for 'quoting' will automatically appear before and after whatever it is you wish to quote.

Good to know the various methods!

Unfortunately levels and formatting are lost, but maybe there're ways to keep them.... ?

Now, if only there were a way to quickly see what threads you have posted on. Such as with an icon.
I know that I can simply add a thread to my favorites, and view those, but I would prefer to have any thread that I create or post on automatically added to my favorites. It would make continuing a conversational thread or topic much easier than scrolling and trying to see if a thread sounded familiar.. :)
