    OK, either we've had a change, or I've lost my mind. Or possibly both. Today I tried to use our quote
    to bring part of a newspaper article in. I could not get it to work. http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...w-and-ice-create-hazards.301084/#post-4923098
    What did I do wrong?

    How do I access the forum rules now?

    EDIT:
    Now just a blood minute here! The quote unquote worked for this post, why not the one above?

    Thanks, dog. The quote I was talking about though, was NOT from this forum. I used to quote parts of news articles all the time, just by typing in the appropriate codes for quote and unquote. But they apparently don't work that way anymore.

    That's what I was referring to - inserting text into a quote box. Click on the plus sign in the reply box. That brings up an overlay. Choose Quote. That will bring up the quote tags so that you can insert your text. Alternatively, you can still type it out manually with the brackets. [quot...
