How do you quote on these forums?

So I can't seem to figure out how to quote someone, yeah I know I'm a noob.  I hit the quote text under someones post and it highlights it, but then nothing happens.  I'm used to either being taken to my reply with the quote already pasted in, or having some kind of a way to insert the quote after highlighting it.  I'm sure it's something silly, but can anyone shed any light on this?

    When you click on quote  the comment should just appear in the comment box.

    A second option is to type "SpineDoc said: xxxxx" and then use the format button above while your block of copied text is highlighted.  It's the sixth option on the toolbar at the top of the text editor.  I also can't quote using the quote button on some browsers.  It seems to work fine on Chrome but not on IE.

    The fun part is that I can quote you saying things you never said!  Thanks Zoomie, you're awesome!

    Sounds strange, you might be some experiencing kind of bug with comment system. Well, i hope someone else can help you with that.

    Edit: It seems Zoomie has the solution above, so you can use that until you get the problem fixed, or switch to Chrome if you aren't using that.
