Try doing this:

1. Click on the " marks to the right of the quote button.
2. Do the same on the other post you want to quote. (You can do more that two if you want)
3. Those you clicked should now have a red background added.
4. Now go back to the first post (last entered) and click the quote button.
5. Your message box should now show with the posts you .clicked the " button and made red.

You can experiment a little to get the hang of it by trying and using the preview button to check the results.

I've been using the same software that's used for this forum on another forum for a few years and until this thread I never knew how to do this either.
