How do I respond to a post so that it quotes the poster? I tried to respond to someone and it put the post at the end of the thread which makes no sense......I see others copy and use the quote in their response.......how do I do that?
Thanks
Jake

Bottom right of the post, it says "Report Post | Quote | Reply". Click on the word Quote.

You can also type this:
(quote)The text you want to quote(/quote)

Except you need to replace the parentheses with square brackets.

Clearly this message board does not use nested replies, so your comment will always go to the end of the thread.

Just make sure when you hit the quote button for the post you want to quote that you do YOUR post part of it outside of the {quote} {/quote} tags or yours shows up inside looking like you quoted it as well
and you can move your cursor in the box where you're typing so your stuff comes
before
QUOTE:
in the middle of
or after
the quote boxes based on where you put the cursor indicating where you are typing.
