How do you get the quotes to....

[dsw]

I don't know how to quote correctly.

When I do it the person's name I'm quoting isn't there. When you all do it, it shows the name of the person being quoted.

I'm hitting the quote button, pasting my quote and then hitting the quote button again.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Found it.

Thanks Snarl for the reference link you posted in the how do I do pictures thread.

that was the key.

so here it is:

Quoting text in replies
There are two ways you can quote text, with a reference or without.

* When you utilise the Quote function to reply to a post on the board you should notice that the post text is added to the message window enclosed in a

block. This method allows you to quote with a reference to a person or whatever else you choose to put! For example to quote a piece of text Mr. Blobby wrote you would enter:

The text Mr. Blobby wrote would go here

The resulting output will automatically add "Mr. Blobby wrote:" before the actual text. Remember you must include the quotation marks "" around the name you are quoting, they are not optional.
* The second method allows you to blindly quote something. To utilise this enclose the text in

tags. When you view the message it will simply show the text within a quotation block

Mr. Blobby is so meta. Or he's completely self-involved. It's hard to tell.
