What happened to the "quote" button? What code do I now have to add to make a quote?
Found it! Why is it buried?

New problem.
When I start a post with a quote, how do I post outside the quote?“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and who weren't so lazy.”0 -

Type in the unshaded area below the quote box
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

Doesn't work. Try it.
Hit post, hit quote, post a quote, from an external source rather than from another poster, then try clicking outside the block of information you have added.
Nor can you click "edit" after you've posted, and try to add outside the quote then.“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and who weren't so lazy.”0 -
Works ok for me, just have to click the expand button to the right of the post so it goes below the grey box.fatbeetle said:Doesn't work. Try it.

Click the </> button to see the code view. Select after the /blockquote tag and press Enter a couple of times. Click the </> again to get back to normal view.0

the quoting does work, I find you have to give it a moment after hitting the button before typing though & its definitely not clear as i'm finding people typing within the quote box all over the threads that I subscribe to which makes for difficult reading (possibly clicking into the box which doesn't appear to be needed if on desktop view)- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

Quoting other members works.
