On the bottom right-hand side of the post you want to quote, you will see a button that says “Quote”. Select that button and then the whole post will come up starting with: [quote] and ending with [\quote]. You can leave the whole post, or if you only want to quote a portion of the post, you can delete whatever parts you want. Just make sure the part you want to quote starts with: [quote] and ends with [\quote]. Then you type your response either above or below the quote.

I also always hit the “review post” option before I post it to make sure I’ve done it correctly.
