Putting quotes in replies

Can someone explain how to go about including quotes from other replies in a particular topic. <br><br>Sometimes I would like to quote parts of other replies but I havn't figured out how to get just parts of another reply in my own reply to a topic.

What he said....or use the other quote button and copy and paste what you want to quote into the text box.

That's the button that looks like this...

Or....you can copy and paste and put the text between the quote commands...like this.....{quote}TEXT{/quote}.....except use [ ] instead of { }.
