quotation boxes - how?

[jerhume]

Sorry if this is an old question, or an eye-rollingly obvious one... - When I quote from another post, why don't I get a nice little box round the quotation?

hi jerhume,

I just checked your settings and everything seems to be ok... so I guess you probably delete parts of the [quote] HTML code, maybe by accident, before you send out your reply. please try it again...click on "quote" and then type whatever you want to type _without_ deleting any parts of the quoted above text, the brackets etc. you can try it with this text here if you like ;). and then see if it works or there's still a problem with your posts. oh, that reminds me of checking your posts on the bb....I will see if I can spot any mistake there in a minute...

edit= got it! see here:
[quote="jerhume"][quote="flipper"]Stephen Kings, mini series Kindom Hospital is a real hoot, Weird is it's first and last names. quote]

this is one of your quotes. as you will probably notice, there's an [/ quote] missing at the end, instead there's only a "quote]". so you have probably deleted the first [/ without noticing it, but it is necessary you use the full HTML code, [quote] and [/ quote]. hope this helps :)
(don't make the space in the 2nd "quote", I just did that to show you what I mean ;)).

sorry, hope this wasn't too confusing now...

Thank you, gela! :)
