    You can copy and paste some text, highlight it and click quote.gif
    This will surround the highlighted text with

    Example

    You could also edit the tags adding an equals symbol followed by a user name
    eg
    [QUOTE=anyname ]Example[/ QUOTE] (with no spaces)

    Hold down shift when you click on quote, you'll get a window for each quote, then just copy and paste them in to the same reply when you submit it.
