There is no quote tag. You have to pick your own method of quoting. I prefer to use

huh... i could have sworn i've seen people quoted in boxes... now my question is, why can't you quote?

You just need to quote with upper case...it makes it blocky like a quote tag.

wait, are you serious? i thought this was meant as a request for the implementation of a quote function from the beginning!

Yeah, I thought you were trolling too, Greenwall. Maybe you're thinking of the occasional oddball who takes a cropped screenshot of a post and embeds that in his his own post, kind of like what Niki did?

As far as I know the only tags this forum supports are i,b,u,img,url. I definitely haven't seen any proper block-quoting here.

I was only half trolling.... the other half was utilizing Savets current tactic of thread hijacking to get a concern addressed that wasn't getting attention in its proper place.

If we implement quotes, it should require exact case.

I agree Kierky.

She seems a bit taller than I thought you preferred, Savet.
