click on the

button displayed in the top right corner of every post.


This will bring up the following text in your post reply box:

thanks[/quote.]


You can then add your reply here, which will appear below the quote.



(I have made it so that you can see the BB formatting by adding a full stop to the [/quote.] tag)


Either that, or you could follow the link in Spark123's post

If you press the

button in someones post it creates the quote with the authors name in it, which is also a hyperlink to where they wrote it (like my quote of you above)


If you use the quote button next to code on the post reply page you will just see:

Something like this
