How can I put text in a white box to quote other for replys?

Directly below both the 'quick feature' text box and the "post reply" text box (and above the 'submit button) there is a link that says "BBCode" Go to that link and it shows how to use the quotes and other neat stuff.

For this reply I clicked the "QUOTE" link in your post and it pulled up your post between some {quote} {/quote} tags with square brackets.
 
To insert quotes in messages:
1/ copy and paste the message of the person you want to quote
2/ put this message in quotes using the "insert quote" icon (2nd one from the right, above the smiley icons)
3/In the quote box, add the name of the member you're quoting. EX: [ quote=x ] text [ /quote]
Which gives :
x said:

4/Then, write your answer below

You can also directly click on the "quote" button on the above right of the message you want to respond to. In that case, if different members are quoted in the same message, make sure to attribute each message to the right member, by closing each quote properly:
EX : [ quote=x ] [ quote=y ] y's text [ /quote ]
x's text [ /quote ]

which gives :

x said:
y said:
x's text

Hi,

Is there a method to indent the quotes to have a better flow of text - haven't found any mention on this in the help section.

Thanks

Hi happehrts,

If something is not clear enough in the way of inserting quotes, let us know it.
 
Hi Bohort Help! I figured out how to copy and paste and add the quote marks around it and make the blue box. I cannot figure out where to put the name of the person that I am quoting.

It says to put it in the quote box...which is what?
When I press the quote button I get... Now do I have to press this twice? Once around the copy and paste quote, and than press it again at the top and insert the name of the person I am quoting?
thanks
