hey, just trying to figure something out.

some people's quotes come up with the a name, and date of the quoted post. others (mine) just say QUOTE and give the quote.

what's the difference? I can't seem to get the name etc included.

See the button above each post, in the right corner? That says "Quote"? If you push that, instead of doing [quote] in your post itself, then you see the name. I think there is also another way to use [quote] and still make the name appear, but I don't know it, unfortunately :eeeeeh:
But the quote button works fine for me.

This is what you should do to get a quote the other way. Replace any <> in my examples with [].

Press Quote.
Then inside the square brackets add =nameofpersonyouarequoting so you get <QUOTE=nameofpersonyouarequoting>.
Then type your quote and hit the quote button again.
You should end up with something like this (with []):

<QUOTE=nameofpersonyouarequoting>Text that you want to quote</QUOTE>

You could do like me and add it by hand? :blink:

That's how I make it "magically" appear.
