Okay, all you have to do is look at the bottom of each person's post and see a line of text, one word, that says "quote". Press that. The posting window will pop up as it usually does. In it you will see:

[ quote="meblonde01" ]Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You[ /quote ]

Or whatever it is you quoted. Of course, there won't be spaces in the [ quote ] functions. So what you need to do to is go to the thing that says [ /quote ] and put your cursor there. Press enter twice or so and you'll have some space. Then type whatever you'd like. I added extra copies of your post so I can demonstrate the next part.

If you know anything about web code, you might know that [ /quote ] means "end the quotes" to the computer. So, if you'd like to insert your opinion in the middle of a post, do this:

[ quote="meblonde01" ]Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You[ /quote ]

[ quote ]Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You Can anyone tell me how to use the quote to reply? I'm doing something wrong.. Thank You[ /quote ]

I pressed enter twice after the first "thank you" and then typed [ /quote ]. Then, I went to the new line I'd made that starts with "can anyone" and I typed a new [ quote ] (open the quote) section.

When posted without spaces, it'll look like this:

You see that the post is now broken into two? Now, in that space you make by pressing enter twice, you can type whatever you want.
