I can't work out from the Forum "Help" how to put someone's username onto a quote, eg. "So-and-so said...".

I can put a quote in with [quote ].....[/quote ] but how do you attach a name to it?

Also, what are the pictorial buttons on the bottom row for?

Thanks in advance..... Smiley

That's what I'm asking...


If I hit the quote button it just sticks in [quote ][/quote ], I have to put the text in manually and I can't work out how to put the quotee's name on it.

To quote all of SS's text, I clicked the quote button on his post, this goes to the normal posting screen, with the quoted bit already inserted.

The quote button in the posting screen is used as SS says.  To insert extra quotes....
