Can't figure out how to do the quote thing where a bubble with another posters comments is above yours so you can show what your replying to

Notice the lttle blue arrows just past your name that reference where the original post is from. Using Reply with Quote maintains that across threads/forums also should you want to refer back to a post in a different thread also. Simply reply with quote then cut the entire content and paste it into the reply window in the new thread.

If you just want to quote a snippet instead simply wrap the text in quote tags after cutting/pasting it using either the quote icon or individual BB codes like this:

[quote]this is text[/quote] Note that it loses the original reference when you do.
this is text

To see how another poster used a certain feature often replying to it will show the codes used in the edit window . All the codes are listed here with examples: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode

You can find this list in the Help menu as List all BB Codes. You can also stack quotes within quotes as needed.
