How do you quote posts?

Edit: Well, I was explaining how to do it, but since the forum has changed, there must be different BB coding…I was trying to do it so it wouldn’t quote it, so you could see how to do it, but it quoted it anyway. Write
[quote

]
(altogether though, with the second bracket right next to the word “quote”…this is the only way it won’t quote it…then put in whatever you wanted to quote, then write

[/quote]
)

Thank you. I wonder why we don’t have a button for this?

Hi there…the reason for not having a quote button was covered here back in 2010 by Roger (and still remains a great explanation):

I really disagree with that. Almost every forum out there has a quote button. There is no point in manually quoting something.
