It isn't working right for me anymore. It's putting the second "quote" right next to the first one, up front. :?:

They go in order, so if the first one has already been hit, it will come up with the close quote (/quote).
I tend to hit quote, paste, then hit quote again. If the /quote comes first, I edit. Does that help?

"I copy, past, highlight the passage, then select quote."
It doesn't work in this order above.
It's highlight, then copy, then paste.

"Or you can just type [ ] around the words quote, /quote "

Other vBulletin boards that I go to have a quote button built into each post so that you can capture the whole statement and the username with one click, and a multi-quote button so you can stack multiple users statements and usernames in the reply box with one click each.
Yes, to get the original passage in the clipboard, you need to do that. And then once it's pasted, highlight again and hit the Quote button.
For some reason your cursor has jumped to the wrong spot....
But I've always used the Quote, then paste (what's in the clipboard from a previous copy function), then Quote again (which should provide the /quote).

That's apparently what some smart folks do here. For whatever reason, I've been hitting Quote, then pasting, then hitting Quote again. Works fine, other method may be better.
You can also paste in the passage, then move the cursor to the front, hit Quote, then move to the end and hit Quote again. Whew! More about quoting than anyone cared to know!
