QUOTING ......
How do I get a "quote " in a Box. When I do it, it puts a bracket with "quote" next to it, but everyone else's quotes appear neatly in a box. what am I missing?

When you submit your post it automatically puts it into a box. Have a try with this one.jay-ell71 wrote:How do I get a "quote " in a Box. When I do it, it puts a bracket with "quote" next to it, but everyone else's quotes appear neatly in a box. what am I missing?
