To post text as a quote, just write [quote="Ghosthunter"] before it and [/quote] after it, except change the Ghosthunter to the name of the person you are quoting. For example, to quote me saying "This is a quote", it should look like this:

[quote="pyraxis"]This is a quote[/quote]

in the screen where you type your message.

Almost got it - just don't forget the close quotes (") after your name as well as before it.

And by the way, if you click the edit button in the upper right corner of one of your posts, you can go back and make changes if you make a mistake.

your posts are annoying because they're hard to understand, Ghosthunter. I usually don't even read them because it's all mixed up and stuff.

Now the whole page is screwing up.

I've split this off, so that it does not interrupt the conversation in the other thread. Other members might also find this useful, if they are having trouble. (Unfortunately, I screwed up and missed one post, so there are two threads in here from it, both this one and "quotes," sorry about that!)

Hale_bopp, please try to be respectful. If you have trouble with Ghosthunter's posts, rather than just calling them "annoying," why not suggest how he can make them more clear?

I better have a try too...this is just using the 'quote' button in the formatting row (at the top of the reply page, under the 'subject' line).

oh, I didn't mean annoying about what they say and how.. I just meant annoying as in hard to read.. sorry.

Probably not the best word to decribe it.
