daft Q - how do I include the name in a quote
Not a big issue, but it is annoying me!
Whenever I see people quoting somebody else, I see that the name or the original poster is included in the quote, but whenever I do a quote from another post it doesn't list the original posters name I know I'm probably missing something, but what?

So if you click "quote" at the bottom right of the post you want to quote it doesn't include their name?

All I see when I quote from your posts is this:

But it seems to be different, I'm using the quote box at the top when I create a post and I copy in the text I want to quote
Seems I'm not using the right 'quote' button? but where is this?Iggy/Ieuan

How embarrassing, 3+ years on this forum and that's the first time I've seen the quote button

or you can do this
When you are posting a reply, look above the text box for the line of buttons press the 'Quote' button which is in between 'u' and 'Code'
This will appear
[.quote]
and if you press it again this will appear
[./quote]
So what you can do is insert any name or thing you like to title the quote by adding an = sign and a couple of quote marks around your required text "insert title here"
