<p>I feel like I'm missing something, and I'm probably stupid, but can someone please clue me in: HOW ON EARTH do you make those little quote boxes? You know, when you want to reply to a specific comment someone made before you, and you put it in a box that says "quote" and offsets it? I have no idea how to do this. Help!</p>

<p>Sorry for my idiocy.</p>

<p>You can also include a link to the quoted post. This is very useful if you're quoting a post from another thread.</p>

<p>
[quote = UserName;post #]
Blahblahblah

[/quote]
</p>

<p>For example, hovering the cursor over raelah's post reveals the post # to be 1061907411.</p>

<p>
[quote =raelah;1061907411]
I feel like I'm missing something...
