Moved on to the next thing...
Hum....what went wrong?????
What you want to do is put the curser after the '[/QUOTE]' (the end of the quote you want to show), then hit 'enter' twice, then type your message.
That is how you'll get it to look like this post and have the quote show up in the blue box.
I usually click on the 'go advanced' button (next to 'submit reply') so that I can preview the post before I click on 'submit reply'.
Wish we could be down there with you guys this weekend!
