How do I bring highlighted quotes into my posts?
I've searched the FAQ's, but found no answer.

This will get moved to "Feedback". Meanwhile:

1. Log in

2. Find the post you want to quote from

3. In the upper right corner of the post, you'll see a "Quote" box. Click on it.

4. This should open up a new window holding the quote.

5. You can edit the quote but don't remove the bracketed language.

6. Add your own text.

7. Preview and submit

just take out the stuff in between to quote only a small part of the post like

this

also, if you want to quote someone who hasn't said anything in the thread yet

just modify this

to this

to get this

confused yet?

1. When composing a post, click the "Quote" button from the row of editing buttons, paste your text in after the code and hit the quote button again.

2. Paste your text, highlight it and the click the quote button and viola
