Hit quote, then hit add reply, and it appears, just like magic!

But be careful around some members, they might get annoyed by the continuous abuse of the Quote function to reply with one liners, LMAO. Hehehe :lol:

Just a little note on that one. The quote function is fine to use and is actually very handy in many occasions, but try and only quote the part of the post you need. Posts are often 10/15 lines long and you'll only need to quote a small part of it. Once quoted and typing your responds you can simply delete the parts in the quote that you feel are not necessary to be left in. That way the quotes will be a lot tidier and easier for people to read/scroll past.

Nope, not like that ;)
You want to only delete the text that has been typed out by the person you're quoting, not the actually [qu0te] tags ;) You'll want your quote to start with [qu0te] or [qu0te name=...]and end with [/qu0te] (note: the o in the quote examples has been replaced with a 0 by me to stop the text turning into an actual quote. When doing this yourself, type it as quote and not qu0te). If you want it to say who you have quoted and when the original post was made you also want to leave that in. In my case right now, that means that I want to leave this whole line:
[qu0te name='Barbie Bubbles' date='Feb 17 2007, 05:30 PM' post='1494039'] (once again, replace 0 with o for it to actually work).

Example:
... I had the same question...

is actually written out as this:

[qu0te name='Barbie Bubbles' date='Feb 17 2007, 05:30 PM' post='1494039']
... I had the same question...
[/qu0te]

yuck I hate it when people quote the whole thing and then post "I agree!" or something, grrr.
