702Shooter: This is a vBulletin forum. It comes standard with a quote button. Yet, there isn't one here.
I've scratched my head quite a bit over this - and especially over such comments as
Microgunner: You need to use the "wrap [ quote ] tags around selected text". Second icon from right on the message tool bar.
because there were no icons anywhere...no mountains, no speech bubbles etc...until I figured out what was wrong.
To correct it:
Go to your User CP
then to Settings & Options
>Edit Options
>Miscellaneous Options
>Message Editor Interface
Set to Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls
And then you'll see all the icons everyone is talking about.
Even still - quoting somebody is clunky, you have to highlight, clip and paste the quote into your reply box, then highlight it again, then click the speech bubble icon to the right of the afore-mentioned mountain range.
Or - you could simply copy whatever you want, and write [q u o t e] (eliminating the spaces between the letters)
in front of it and
[/ q u o t e ]
(eliminating the spaces between the letters) at the end of the quote
