I feel dumb asking this question :rolleyes:, but I need help with quoting! I know how to quote everything in someones post, but how do you just quote a piece of it?
I have also tried quoting it and then deleting parts of the post and that didn't put it in the quote boxes. While I am at it, how do you take quotes from a couple different people?

I tried looking under FAQ and this Administration and couldn't find anything.

To quote from different people, there's a little button next to the button that says "Quote" that looks like a piece of paper with a plus sign and the " symbol. If you hover over that, it says 'Multi-quote'. Click on that on the different threads you want to quote (in the order you want to quote them) -and then when done click on the "Post Reply" button.

To only quote a little bit of what someone says (because, as you obviuosly know since you're asking the question, you don't want to quote more words than you add :)) - quote like you would otherwise, and delete the stuff you don't want to include. The key, though - is to retain the {QUOTE=postername;#####} at the top and {/QUOTE} at the end of the quoted material, where the curly brackets are replaced by square ones.
