I have been trying to learn how to use the quotes in the posts. Is there a how to somewhere. I tried a search but nothing came up. I'm probably doing that wrong as well.

Type [ quote] then paste what you wish to quote then type [ /quote] but take out the spaces that I have typed after the [

Hope that helps.

Edited to add that I have just spotted the Quote tab next to the Reply tab - I don't have a clue what to do with that, I haven't tried it!

Ah, I just tried the Quote tab and it put the whole of the previous post in quotes. So if you only want to quote a small amount use the method I mentioned, if you wish to quote the whole of the previous post (but I don't know why you would) use the Quote tab.

Another way to do it is when you reply (not Quick reply)there are some commands listed under the text box next to the smilies. You can just click on the one that says Quote and it'll type that ubb code for you. You can also do bold and stuff that way.
