How do you do the quote to include the person's name you are quoting?

I have tried quote but that just puts " " around it? Thanks.

If you hit the quote button on the bottom right of the post (as I did here), it will include their name when quoting what they said. If you don't want to quote their entire post, but rather just a piece, I just go in and delete what I didn't want to quote. Try it.

i just used it to quote you. on the lower right hand corner under a post there are two options, edit and quote. just hit quote; it turns up at the top of your reply, and you can delete protions of the original if you wish.

When you have the quote on your screen surrounded by the QUOTE, i, and B's, just put your cursor into the body of the text, and highlight and delete the bits you don't want. Highlight and hit the spacebar, highlight and hit the delete key, same difference. ;)

Hope this helps!

you can also put part of your reply in first, like this, by hitting enter at the top of the initial bracket-quote-bracket and moving the quote down into the body of your reply.

i often tighten up quotes by deleting all of the blank spaces.

just be sure not to delete the bracketed info!
