When I want to quote someone and save the post, I see the quote within quote brackets instead of a yellow background. What am I doing wrong?

    Do the same, but make sure you check on the BBCode button below the comments box.

    the simple rule is:

    to quote, make sure you're clicked in the BBCode box at the bottom. The end of the quote should have a [cite] box.

    To link another web page, make sure you are clicked in the Text box.

  • It doesn't appear to work in Firefox. Although it aint really a big deal for me.

    Do you have the NoScript extension installed, or javascript switched off? In order to get the quoting to work you need to allow charltonlife.com to use javascript.
