Hmmm, there needs to be a [ quote ] at the start, and a [ / quote] at the end (without the spaces inside the brackets, of course.)

Two methods:
1. Paste the text you want to quote into the reply box, then highlight it before pressing the Quote button. This will put the tags at the beginning and end.

2. Press the Quote button. Paste in the text you want to quote. Then, notice that the Quote button has changed to /Quote. Press it again with the cursor on the end of the text.

@psnz So we don't need to have [ i ] at the begging and [ / i ] at the end?

At first I thought when you quoted it had to have the italics inside, but I noticed that it looks exactly the same.

Quote with italics:

Normal quote:

quote goes first
/quote goes after the quoted text.

i guess to edit things, or emphasize things.

real example, someone kept saying Black Cops instead of Black Ops. Guy goes "i suppose you mean Black Ops?"
