You use [*quote] The message to be quoted[*/quote] to quote a member
[*quote="member"] The message to be quote [*/quote] remove the * it was used so they would not quote right now

Or you could press the qoute button at the top-right hand side of any message (click on the one you want to quote). To quote something off-site, either learn how BBCode works (seen with TM1's post), or edit a quote to match. For example (I'm going to turn BBCode off for this post):

[quote="Insert Name or Title Here"]The stuff you want to be quoted goes here[/quote]

If I enabled BBCode, It'll look like...

This:

Insert Name or Title Here wrote:

Get it? You have to be careful with what you type, otherwise a quote title won't make sense, like this:

A fancy poem on the internet wrote:
Look at the title,
of this quote.
To find something,
meaningless.


Got it? :D
