Hit the Quote button on the right-hand side of the post you want to reply to.

Copy text from whatever post you want, then, when you're in the 'post reply' screen, have a look at the buttons up top - there's one for 'quote'. Click that button, paste in your quote, then click it again.

It'll look like this (without the asterisks):
[quote*] Blahblah, blah, blablablabbedyblah. So there![*/quote]

From there you can preview & post as usual. :)

So I figured out how to put a quote in boxes but how do you get rid of the bold type "quote" and replace it with a bold type 'Lucy wrote"
