How to Quote Another User

[Jamie McDaniel]

Here are the instructions on how to quote another user.

The [quote] tag allows you to attribute text to someone else. To use it properly, you need to put [quote] at the beginning of the quoted text and [/quote] at the end of the quoted text. Notice the difference between the two. The beginning is [quote] and the end is [/quote] with the added forward slash.

For example, this code

[quote]Jamie wrote this very insightful sentence.[/quote]

will produce this

Jamie wrote this very insightful sentence.

Now you can also do this

[quote=Jamie McDaniel]Jamie wrote this very insightful sentence.[/quote]

Which will produce this

Originally Posted by Jamie McDaniel

Notice how it inserted the header "Originally Posted by."

The editor normally handles this correctly when you hit the quote button, but I've noticed several dangling [quote] tags in posts. Hope that helps.
