Where can I find information about inserting comments in my post from the post being replied to, or, for that matter, quotes in general?
Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi BusB!
To reply to a poster and quote them, click on the Quote button in the top right of the post in question.
Are you familiar with XML or HTML? You can also manually create a quote by using the following syntax:
[ q o u t e] ... the text you want to quote ... [ / q u o t e]
Note: remove the spaces from the above words in brackets. I put them there other wise you would just see:
The nice thing about using the built in Quote button is that it includes a link to the post in question as well. Try playing with the Quote button when replying to this message to see what I mean. You can also go to the Test sub forum and play around with the various tags.
I'm pretty sure there is a FAQ somewhere with this info. I'll update this post if I find it.
