When you hit "quote" only the text in the post you are quoting is quoted into the text box. Text that is already in a quotation in the post you are quoting will not appear in the text box. Thus, if you wish to reply inside quote you will need to put the tags in yourself.

For example, if I wanted to respond to the following post

I have a few questions. 1. What time is it? 2. What day is it?

then I would hit the appropriate "quote" button, which would make the text go into the text box in quotations. Then if I wanted to intersperse answers and questions, I would type [ /quote] before where I was answering, type my answer and then type [quote]to re-open the quote box. Continue as required. It would look like this:

I have a few questions.

Ok

1. What time is it?

3am

2. What day is it?

Saturday.

Now, click "quote" on my post to see the code to write this. It's pretty straight-forward once you get the hang of it. I'll go back and edit your previous posts (I've done a couple) so they are easier to follow. I'll delete this message when rybo's read it so as not to disturb the flow of the thread (, Pat.)

Hope this helps, rybo. If you're still having problems, post in the feedback forum and I'll try and give a clearer explanation.
