Click on quote Sue then write your message underneath the quote.  If it is not working then you have a problem...and I'm the last person to help out with that!

Perhaps you underestimate you abilities that advice is spot on.

If you don't want to quote the whole post you can simply delete the characters you don't need but make sure  /quote is still at the bottom of the text you are quoting or the forum won't know where the quote ends and your reply begins :)

Yes that correct and if you look in the reply box you should see the post you wanted to quote is there in full.

All I did here as click on the quote icon at the top of your post and type this text, seems strange thats it's not working for some, you've not been fiddling with your settings have you :)

I just realised what you are doing wrong, you are clicking reply then the insert quote button (the one that looks like a speech bubble), don't do that, all you need to do is click the quote icon above the post you want to quote, no need to hit reply. It's just above the word insert on the first line of this post :)

I dont have a speech bubble.. its just a small grey box with insert quote.  It keeps taking me to the quick reply box.

Dunno then, you should just click on the grey box labelled "quote" in the top right corner of the post you wish to use and it does all the work for you. From what you have said it appears you are doing everything right.
