What do you type to quote someone-

and have it show up blue and in a box?
I've tried < quote > blah, blah < /quote > without the spaces in between, but that isn't working. What am I doing wrong?

Dunno, unless you are not using [ ]. won't work with anything else like < > ,( ) or { }.

Here are the steps to add a quote in a blue box: http://davesgarden.com/faq/forums/#172

OK let me try that, i did it in the journal and it didn't work, but maybe it's a thread thing only.

*big breath* here goes

All the directions are there for doing various things. For the blue box, just remember that those are not parentheses but are brackets. Brackets are on the keyboard next to the letter P, at least on my keyboard. They look like this: [ ] and not like this ( ).

Finally- I should have just asked for help about 1/2 hour ago :) Thanks again everyone

Here I go.....

One other bobo I'll add ~ I often neglect adding a space on each side and it will be a no go bobo.

I gotta give it a try too... here' goes....

["]One other bobo I'll add ~ I often neglect adding a space on each side and it will be a no go bobo.["]

Okay... wha'd I do wrong? I forgot the backslash. Okay, second try.

["]One other bobo I'll add ~ I often neglect adding a space on each side and it will be a no go bobo.[/"]

I messed up again. Sould I spell the word 'quote'? I'll try that. Third try's a charm, right?

It worked! It worked!!! Thank you!! Thanks for the text Podster!

3rd time IS the charm... I went thru that too. Atta way to go!

Awwww, such encouragement. Sweet!

Hey, glad to help!
