Click on quote Sue then write your message underneath the quote.  If it is not working then you have a problem...and I'm the last person to help out with that!

Perhaps you underestimate you abilities that advice is spot on.

If you don't want to quote the whole post you can simply delete the characters you don't need but make sure  /quote is still at the bottom of the text you are quoting or the forum won't know where the quote ends and your reply begins

I have tried to insert a quote and after your guidance still cant get it to work.  I must be having a really bad blonde moment!!

[blondegirl]

It still wont do it... it takes me straight to the reply box... nothing is happening.

Glad im not the only one!!

Yes that correct and if you look in the reply box you should see the post you wanted to quote is there in full.

When I click on "insert Quote" it takes me straight to the reply box but there is nothing there..  do I "block" out the quote I want then click on insert quote... I'm confused now

All I did here as click on the quote icon at the top of your post and type this text, seems strange thats it's not working for some, you've not been fiddling with your settings have you

[blondegirl]

oops I hope not!  it still wont work...

[Joe]

I just realised what you are doing wrong, you are clicking reply then the insert quote button (the one that looks like a speech bubble), don't do that, all you need to do is click the quote icon above the post you want to quote, no need to hit reply. It's just above the word insert on the first line of this post

is this it

I dont have a speech bubble.. its just a small grey box with insert quote.  It keeps taking me to the quick reply box.

Dunno then, you should just click on the grey box labelled "quote" in the top right corner of the post you wish to use and it does all the work for you. From what you have said it appears you are doing everything right.

Thanks though Joe!  I will give up for the moment as its irritating.
