I've noticed some of you have commented on your difficulties in using the new quote feature. Just bumping this in hopes to help. 
Just another bump to this quote tutorial for some of the newer (and a few of the older 
) members.
If you have any questions about this feature, the AD staff would be happy to help you out.

I know the quote feature on our forum is a little odd and can take some getting used to by new folks. This tutorial is very helpful, so I thought a little bump couldn't hurt.
I'm bumping this topic up because it seems some of our newer folks are having trouble using the quote feature. Please see Mike's instructions above, they are spot on. Also, be sure to preview your post before submitting it to make sure your quotes are done properly. Thanks
