I tried earlier and

Go to the message you want to quote and hit the quote button.

Or when you are in the editing mode you can type some text, select the text you want to quote, hit the quote button above and it will put the proper quote markup before and after the text. You can hit the preview button to see what it will look like before you post.

You can even type in the quote markup by hand if you want.

Go to the message you want to quote and hit the quote button.

Did this work? If not, I don't get it! I guess it did (previewed) but didn't get Mike's name in it. Will try again.

That worked.

How did you do it? By hand or by hitting the quote button on the message you want to quote?

Just as an example. Let's say you wanted to quote one of the messages in this thread. You'll notice in the upper right hand corner there is a "quote" button. If you click it the message will automatically be quoted and attributed to the author.

If you do it in the edit post area you'll have to do it by hand, which doesn't take too much.

I hit the quote button, went to the post below the post box, highlighted the part of your post I wanted to quote and cut/pasted it, hit the quote box again.

Is there an easier way? Did you type "Mars wrote" on your own or did it come into the answer in another way?

There are two ways of doing it. Either by hand, as it appears you did, or by hitting the quote button as I mentioned in my previous post.

If you do it by hand you have to add the following to the opening quote markup.

In this example I have replaced the [ and ] with ( and ) so you can see what it would look like and so something like this:
(quote="Mars")I really am computer literate - just having brain fart at the moment! (/quote)

Which would look like this:

Anybody looking for a good computer repair person? Looks like someone's poor confuser has had the cwap whacked out of it
