Quoting is about the only thing that I do know how to do.

It should be done like this:

{quote}paste the quote{/quote}

IMPORTANT: In my example you should use the [] instead of the {}. It wont show if I use the correct brackets.

Wow. You're a smart one. Wish I could have figured out how to press that button

Yeah since apparently its 2001 in TexAgs land you have to manually code your quotes. Apparently it's too much to ask for a simple button to quote someone. Let's not even get started on having it show WHO made the original quote...woah there.

Ya... True that. It's weird though. I can quote from my phone, but it never works with my computer...

Thanks, that does help some. It'd be nice if we could press the quote button (or, gasp, MULTIPLE quote) from the thread page, but copying and pasting as I've always done is a little less painful with that quote tag button...

Having a quote button would be extra nice for iPad users since its harder to cut/paste the content on posts.

I usually grab my phone and quote from mobile site.
