Hi...have a question regard quotes.

Like that? You can click on "Quote and a box will pop up where you can copy and paste. If the qoute is too big to fit, then you can type Quote in [], paste the text, then /Quote in[]. Did I make that clear?

report / quote / edit

There are the choices.......

Actually I believe you are talking about the sigantures at the bottom of people posts.

User Panel --> Edit Profile --> Signature

That will show the same text at the bottom of every post you have made on this board.

I'd like to butt in here for a moment... I have been using the quote thing for a while now, but I notice all thats shown is the word "Quote" above the actual quoted text. I've seen others that provide the source of the quote. Like "Quote from xxxx" or something like that. Can anyone clear that up for me.

after the [i] you need [b] and also before the 'quote' at the end.

Am I missing something...if you click the quote button at the top right of a persons post it does the quoted by thing for you...no need to make a template...all you have to do is edit what you don't want to include
