We've noticed that some folks have a difficult time with the quote feature. Here are some tips:

* Foremost, keep in mind that if you are responding to the latest post, it is not necessary to quote.

1. The quote tool is best used by first clicking the "Post Reply" button. Notice that the previous posts are all lined up below the reply form for easy reference.
2. Next, copy the desired text from a previous post and click the quote tool icon (located 1 line above the message field).
3. Paste the quoted text into the pop up box and save. The code will be inserted into the message field.
4. Type in your reply.
5. Repeat this for each bit of the post you wish to quote.

More tips:
* Try to avoid quoting posts that contain quotes. Very quickly the thread will become unnecessarily long and cluttered making it difficult to separate your comments from others.

* For hand coders... here is a list of bb tags:
