This has been bothering me for a while. I'm sorry if i haven't found it in any of the FAQs. Thanks for the help.

when you read a thread, there's a button that says "quote" next to the "edit" button, that's how I do it

Send a message via ICQ to RJ
Click on "Post Reply", then you will see a Quote button.
When you hit it you can write or paste the quote. Also you will see the code that will be put into the text.
You can do that manually, too (that's how I do it). . the word quote in brackets at the beginning and /quote at the end in brackets.

That way you can quote:

Basically, to quote, use vbCode. It's kind like this:
PHP Code:
[quote]quoted stuff[/quote]Rest of text 
.


Hope that helps,
kram
