Just wondering whether someone would tell me how to put the quotes in boxes so there is separation between quote and what I say?
Certainly.
The quote command is:
Code
[quote=Poster]Text[/quote]
Poster is what what will be displayed in the title “Originally Posted by Poster”.
The text is contents of the quote box.
I personally like to copy/paste the text I wish to quote, so I type the quote commands with the poster name.
Another method is to press <Quote> button under the post which will populate the “Quick Reply” dialog box with the entire post, bookended with the quote command - both quote and /quote. However, it is a bit cumbersome if you aren’t wanting to actual quote everything, and the have to delete a bunch.
Interestingly, another good use of the <Quote> button is it shows all the embedded commands. Bold, italic, underline, color, and so on.
If you try the <Quote> button on this post you’ll see some of them. Example of text face in the preceding paragraph and some quotes below.
Quote
A quote with no Poster’s name.

Nested quotes too.

<Use Full Editor> is another option as well. There is a quoting icon which inserts the quote command syntax, then just paste the text in between. The full editor also has icons for the various type faces, color, and such too.
Hope that helps.
