    You can also quote more than 1 message, click the button next to the quote one, and it will turn orange and change to minus, then on the last message (if your quoting 4, on the 4th one) hit the normal quote button, and they'll all quote for you.

    it's a simple bbcode setup.

    [!!quote=""][/quote] is the command, between the '''' you insert the persons name, and between the [] you put the text, and make sure you remove the !! from the start for example:
