Can we have a faq on how to do quotes

I just can't seem to do those neat quotes on the light background. Mine look like:

[quote="iminj"]what I'm trying to quote[/quote]

thx, Joe

I just opened your post and copied your line, then pasted it in this post. It works fine for me. I do not see any reason it won't work for you. I will send this to the higher-ups to review.

EDIT: I think I just figured it out. You need to be sure when you are posting that under Options on the lower left BBCode is ON. You change this setting in your preferences when you click on the Profile button at the top of the screen. Try this before I send it up the ladder.

bbccode is on, copied line, hit post a reply, hit the quote button, then paste, then the quote button. Will it work? Doesn't show up in preview, so I'll hit submit and see what happens. Thx, Joe
Edit: La voila! Thanks to all, Joe
