Or after clicking on the double quote symbol, you can insert your quoted text in between the Quote and /Quote. Hope this helps.

Aha! Now I can do "multiple" quotes again. First one done by clicking on Reply. Second one by pasting text after clicking on the double-quote icon.

I was trying to figure that out too, Glad you asked Lilywhite.

I just click on reply in another post to get a second set of quotes. Is that what you mean by "double quotes"? I don't see any "double quotes" otherwise

Or do you mean to cut and paste using the quotes in the tool bar? AHA! That works too! And you can do it any number of times!!

Gee, that's too simple. Never thought to try that. :doh:

The "double quote" icon I was talking about is at the far right on the same formatting line as Bold, Italics, and the Link/Unlink and vid icons.

Yes, that's what I meant, those double quotes on the tool bar that look like 2 blue upside down and reversed commas. It doesn't name the person you're quoting, but still creates the lightly shaded box.
