    Please post news articles and their links in quote brackets so we know where the article starts and your opinion begins. It also makes your posts much easier to read.

    There are a few ways to go about placing text in a quote box:

    Type the quote brackets in manually. It would look something like this:
    Code:
    [quote]News article w/ link is posted here. [/quote]
    Which will post like this:

    In the toolbar click the "Insert" icon in the toolbar and select the quote option:

    After you select quote it will insert the quote brackets into your post:

    Type or copypasta what you want between those quote brackets.

    If you already have text posted in the text box and want to place it in a quote, first highlight the text you want to quote:
    quote2.PNG
    Then find and click that quote option again:
    quote3.PNG
    That text will now be surrounded by the quote brackets:
    quote4.PNG
    Which will end up looking something like this:
    quote6.PNG

    Note: The BB code here is not case sensitive. You can type "quote" or "QUOTE" in brackets. Just make sure you close the brackets out with a "/quote" or "/QUOTE".

    Also note: If you are using the new theme the "Quote" option is under the "..." toolbar icon:
