Once you quote a post,you need to start your post after the [/quote]box

For starters, always use the quote button made available to you in the thread. You can add quote boxes manually, but they can be a pain to do that way. Once you hit the quote button, your screen will open up in a Reply to Message screen. This is your typical post screen, but you will see the post you quoted listed in the post box.

What I suggest doing is taking your mouse and pointing your arrow at the very last piece of text in the post. It should be the word quote in some brackets. Then, hit enter 2-3 times. What this does is give you a very good space between the original quoted post and the text you are about to type.

That's all it takes.
