AJ, I make my post until I get to the part where I want the quote.
Then I click on the word "quote" which I'm sure you saw, 4th button from the left above the box where we input our text.
Then I see this: [quote][/quote]
Then I highlight and drag the text I wanted to quote.
I can either drop it right in the center between the ] and the [
or I can drop it at the end and then highlight the second bracketed word "quote" and drag that and drop it at the end of my quoted text.
Does this make sense? Try it.

You were sloppy about where you dropped your text. You got your words *inside* the brackets. See how it goes [quote][your words? That second [ has to be after your words, so it goes with the second quote. Sneaky sneaky.
