This might be a totally stupid question, but how do I get the name to highlight when I post a quote? I noticed last night that none of my quotes in posts have the original poster name, and when I started typing in the "originally posted by abcperson" it doesn't highlight with the little triangle after it like all the other posts. What am I doing wrong? :confused:

Are you using the quote function on the other people's posts, or just he quote button when you're in the screen to generate a new post, and then either re-typing or cutting and pasting their words? If the latter, then use the former. At the bottom right of every post there's two buttons that can be used - The one that says "Quote" and if you click that, you'll get one person's whole post (without any material THEY quoted) which you can edit for the pertinent part you mean to quote (remember, don't quote a big long post and just say "I agree" - add as much as you're quoting, at least).
The other button is a " symbol and a plus sign. You can click that on multiple posts, and then the "Post Reply" button, and EVERY post you clicked that on will show up with quote tags, etc. It will do them in the order you click the button, so make sure and do it in the order you mean.
Once you do that, you can see that the 'automatic quoting' includes the poster name and a number (corresponding to the number of the post) to 'activate' the little arrow.
